I am as constant as a northern star

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

I could drink a case of you.

Back then, I didn't have a big organization around me. I was just a kid with a guitar, traveling around. My responsibility basically was to the art, and I had extra time on my hands. There is no extra time now. There isn't enough time.

I'm not a pitiable creature. It's just that I suffer very eloquently.

In a pure anonymous encounter you find a world alive and full of character. In New York, the street adventures are incredible. There are a thousand stories in a single block. You see the stories in people's faces. You hear the songs immediately. Here, in Los Angeles, there are fewer characters because they are all inside automobiles.

I'm a method actress in my songs, which is why it's hard to sing them.
