My identity has everything to do with me and my instrument. It doesn't have to do with what production style I use, or how many people played on it, whether it's sparse or grandiose or whatever. And I'm social, frankly.

The license said you had to stick around until I was dead, but if you're tired of looking at my face I guess I already am.

I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.

I don't know why it surprises people that I surprise them.

Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say.

I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.
