I’m worse at what I do best.

There is nothing I can say that I haven't thought before.

My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.

Here we are now, entertain us.

I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman; I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.

When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band - or at least in a Pixies cover band.

I write poems for myself and I write poetry that gets torn apart and becomes songs. I have a lot of respect for words, the power of words.
