Sadness is not always the worst feeling. Sometimes it's a really pleasurable thing to be overwhelmed with sadness.

Live on coffee and flowers. Try not to worry what the weather will be.

I drink wine on stage to sort of loosen my grip on reality a little.

I'm going to keep drinking on stage. I have a pretty healthy relationship with alcohol. I know how far to go and when to stop.

When I have just sat down and tried to write the lyrics of a song, usually about half of it sounds like bullshit. I just have to go away from something and come back to it again later. I do a lot of editing and switching around and putting little pieces together to get the right mood and personality, and it takes me forever to get a song finished.

A song is a song and, if I am emotionally connected to do it, whether it is sad or not sad, I am going to chase that song.

I'm not saying I'm not a moody guy sometimes, but I think I have a pretty normal balance.
