I'm always aware of mortality.

I'm not one of these people who thinks everything in the past is great and everything modern is terrible. But I do think cities should be a mix of old things and new things.

Sometimes, with autobiographies, it turns into a bit of score-settling. And looking back, I don't feel the way I did then, and you kind of grow up and let it go behind you.

That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.

I was a magnet for people who want to take advantage of people like me, who think they're part of this life but they're not.

I'm always more interested in trying things that will push me, and I don't care if I fall flat on my face doing it.

Maybe I was a bit harsh on some people. But I was harshest on myself, really.
