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

I don't really care about money. I find money boring and accounting boring, so I'm probably not going to ever make a lot of money.

Doing interviews can sometimes mess up my head. It makes me feel dirty. It's frustrating how the press recycles a quote to death.

I can't believe I got a major-label record deal. My music was quirky, and my voice was so odd and high and girlish, it was like a weird novelty act.

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

A heart that hurts is a heart that works.
