Down on the West Coast I get this feeling like it all could happen.

I know now that it's really important to feel beautiful. There is a power to that.

The world needs poetry now more than ever. It's the only thing that can keep music from copying itself and sounding the same.

In the end, I find my influences or inspirations where I can.

I have taken taking my music to labels for years, and everyone just thought it was creepy. They thought the images with the music were weird and verging on psychotic.

And I really have done everything that I said I did do. The rest is just a story that somebody else made up.

When you long you can not achieve anything when you repeatedly have to lose all that you had hoped, you gradually become still.
