When you do an interview with me, you're talking to a cheap imitation of the person that I really am. There's no magic in my words, it's just me talking.

Yeah, Under The Table And Dreaming shaped the way that I think about writing songs.

I may have taken someone through the wringer psychologically, but I've never been sinister.

Tore up my heart and shut it down. Nothing to do, nowhere to be. A simple little kind of free. Nothing to do, no one but me, and that's all I need. I'm perfectly lonely.

Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?

Half of my heart’s got a grip on the situation, half of my heart takes time.

I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. There's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. Well they're not good enough. Write it! I want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. You're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. That's what I really think it is. Well it's all right. Well, how do you know? It's not done!
