When I first started making music, I didn't really know what I was doing. I just wanted to write songs. I didn't have a concept. I didn't think it through. I was just flailing around doing what comes naturally. It took me a really long time to step back and deal with what I was doing with any kind of perspective or self-awareness.

As long as there are religions, there are going to be people who are hiding their rottenness behind the veil of religion.

I make music and I can't stop. It's a compulsion and an obsession and a curse.

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

I like people wanting to know about me.

I love 'Crazy Horse,' and Neil Young is one of my favorite guitar players.

My first guitar was a Gibson Challenger.
