It's not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.

Birth is a beautiful thing.

I'm not a pop song lyric writer. I can't just focus on one simple meaning or even a double entendre.

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.'

People often put me in a V-neck tennis club sweater, driving a Bentley, but my life wasn't like that.

The way Lou Reed wrote and sang about drugs and sex, about the people around him - it was so matter-of-fact.

Making an album can be like being pregnant: you want to pop that thing out and show everybody!
