In this world, where everything happens so fast, it's hard to sit back, take the time and contemplate.

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

I get a little sick of myself as a solo artist. I get a little bit bored.

I've always been a loner, and I've spent most of my life as a single person.

I've finally learned to love my voice for its uniqueness.

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