I've woken up from dreams and the whole song is there. I'm listening to it in my dreams. I consciously have to wake myself up and get a tape recorder because I hear it like a record.

A lot of my songs deal with spirituality and God, and I guess if you're in tune with that, you'll read into it.

People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.

Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.

At first people thought I was really arrogant and a snob about music because I'm so intense about my production and sound, and because they knew I didn't like new music so much.

That's a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be.
