I had to do this album. I tried thinking, "I'm not going to do it." But then I'm sitting there getting all suicidal and depressed, and I just start writing. It's like this inner drive. If I could choose, I would probably be living in the countryside and be fine with that, but I'm not.

I do it live on tape with a band. It's not like I'm doing electronic music with a laptop.

I lived five years in Portugal and then spent winters in Nepal or India.

I was totally romanticizing the idea of Los Angeles when the Doors, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young were hanging out there.

If you're being ignored, that's a good time to concentrate on finding yourself and creating your own mystery.

After you've been wounded a few times, it's hard to let somebody get that deep again.
