I'm really conflicted about my role as a front-person. I hate the attention.

My growth as an artist and a person has been so slow and gradual, it's hard to make a story out of it.

I don't buy a lot when I travel, but when I do, I like to send gifts from wherever I am. It's fun to find the local post office.

Songwriting is like editing. You write down all this stuff - all this bad, stupid stuff - and then you have to get rid of everything except the very best.

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

I've seen quite a bit of the world, but I really like Sweden and feel like I could live there some day.

I have many moods, and there is no objective reality. And I kind of live by that.
