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 always been a fan of album covers with no writing on them and have used them a lot in my own groups.

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

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.

You're charging money to have people come watch you play; I want them to feel taken someplace good or provoked into thinking my way for an hour and a half or two hours.

Anything lower than mid-six figures is not going to get me interested in that. And honestly, I just don't want to.

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