I have an aversion to being mislabeled. Here's a label I'd accept: I'm an 'individual.' I'm someone who can't follow, and doesn't want to lead.

My individual, psychological descent coincided, ironically, with my ascent into the public eye.

I find a lot of poetry to be narcissistic.

I don't know how to sell out. If I tried to sell out I don't think I could.

Do you see how you hurt me, baby? So I hurt you too. Then we both get so blue. I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, looking for the key to set me free.

I see music as fluid architecture.

I never loved a man as far as I could pitch my shoe.
