People in L.A. don't have to brace themselves against the cold; they slack off permanently, and their brains turn to mush.

If life is a performance, and I am not an actor, am I supposed to lie down and die?

I could make a whole album with no one else involved at all. It would be a total, unadulterated expression of myself. Because whenever you have others playing on a project, their influence becomes a part of it.

I want to paint. That is probably going to sound so pretentious coming from someone who's been a musician.

Popular culture is filled with girls.

My whole life was writing, recording and touring over and over again. At some point I realised I wasn't enjoying myself any more.
