I feel slightly confused about certain things. Practical and tactical things. When you try to make everyone happy… in the end you've got to make yourself happy.

In most cultures, you can have a kid at 18 and it's not a big thing. It's not like, 'Oh, you've got to get a different haircut and move to the suburbs and act, like, 35.'

With a hundred ways to do a dozen things, why not try it all?

The best artists are the ones that work the hardest, and if you work hard enough, you'll eventually experience the happy accidents that are art.

I'm happy to feed the illusion that I'm a lazy recluse.

The thing for me is I never had this burning desire to do a solo record my whole life.

I enjoy songwriting. It's slow-motion improvising.
