I've always considered myself a workaholic... The way I work, I have to turn myself upside down and hang myself by my ankles and wring myself out like a wet sweater, and I have to do that with other people, too, because I think that's where something good comes out.

I've always heard music in my head since I was a little kid, so I've always played towards that. If I felt bad, that's what I did.

I hate that sense of entitlement or the sense of business crawling into playing music.

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'm not politically correct; I never said I was.

I like when people take chances.

I like to make the music that I really love. You're supposed to make your favorite music that no one else played, and I'd like to just keep it at that and not really change it at all.
