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

I never felt happy with the idea that part of what I do is to be an object to be looked at. I thought of my public persona as an entity separate to myself.

I don't make money on the road, and so there's less and less incentive for me to do it when I don't have that adolescent desire for whatever it is, glory or fame.

I love playing in front of people. I feel powerful, 'cause I don't have to really say anything - I'm just singing.

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

The most rabidly religious people are the most rabidly evil.

I've always been in this sort of perpetual state of existential longing. I feel like something's missing.
