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

I really love that type of music where someone can take a guitar or light instrumentation and a beautiful voice and can send me somewhere.

I have been a provoker and I'll probably always be one in the public arena for the rest of my life.

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.

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.

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.
