I don't like the idea of famous people.

The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.

That's my dream job, to be able to mail songs out to people who want to hear them. Paste my face on them and not travel all over the world trying to sell them.

My parents didn't treat me as if there was anything in the world I couldn't do, except be unkind.

I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.

Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.

I felt like it was a great secret when I found out that I could be in my 30s.
