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

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

My music - that's the one area I won't let myself be pushed around. But in other parts of my life, I'm a confused mess.

I think the reason I've been able to keep making music is because I'm not married, I don't have kids.

It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

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

The most rabidly religious people are the most rabidly evil.
