I want to paint. That is probably going to sound so pretentious coming from someone who's been a musician.

What happens when your dream comes true - when the spotlight is on and then it moves away?

I wanted to be a writer. I still want to be a prose writer. I feel I am more temperamentally suited to that kind of life, although there are things I still want to do with music.

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

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

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