Every song brings back memories, like I remember where I wrote all these songs. 'Universal Heartbeat' was my apartment in New York City. 'My Sister' was at my apartment in Boston. I remember places and I remember what I was thinking when I wrote it.

I like visiting LA, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Human relations, I mess them up, and they let me down.

How can I shield myself from the things that I hear?

People are complex. I'm just showing my complexity.

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

I always believe that a person can learn so much by just jumping into something and trying to do it rather than having someone else teach you everything.
