I write about my life and the lives of people around me and situations, and the idea's for each record to try to make you a better person, to understand the life that you lead more.

Sometimes you actually get caught in the web of things where people are talking about... what kind of breakfast cereal you like.

I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.

I think people get fixated on the example of an idea.

I've been playing live gigs since I was 13. I really don't know how to do anything else, and please God strike me down.

I'm just going to put out three or four releases a year and make it so that if you like the Desert Sessions, then you'll definitely like everything else.

I think people listen to whatever they think is good.
