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

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.

You make music to move people and you don't get to pick who you move. You just don't. It's exclusionary and elitist and I just never felt that way about music, of all things. The great unifier.

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

The more years you put behind you, hopefully making music that surpasses what you did before, you're playing bigger places and it kind of weirdly becomes a business.

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