It's like soul music, isn't it all soul music? Otherwise what is it, non-soul music? I-have-no-soul music? Soulless music? People need to put a name on something to identify it, and I understand it.

There's just so little mystery left in music or film. It was all that was magical to me as a child.

You run the risk of falling on your face, but, again, music is an individual pursuit - it is made to please yourself first.

I've never presented myself as anything less than a flawed person.

I think when you're young and you get together with a group of guys who think like you and you start to make something that moves you as a group of people and you have a common goal, that's an exciting time.

If tears were liquor/ I'd have drunk myself sick.

Working with different people and do things that normally I would not do makes the music interesting for me to continue. It keeps me alive. When I'm doing something alone, that is mine, I know how it is. But when I'm working with someone else, I also see the view from the other, and usually learn something new, try something different. This is very important to my happiness.
