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 think music is a selfish masturbatory event - for the listener, the maker, the candlestick...maker.

I'm not a militant, drug-taking freak! I'm sensitive.

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 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.

I like to keep my feet on the sidewalk.

When you try to put everything into music, there's no room left to try to make you think we're cool. We know you think we're cool.
