I think all musicians should understand that you have chosen not to be a soldier but a musician.

Any ideas of “other” are complicated, and otherness is relative to personal ideas of “normal.”

Music is like a lover that I can't commit to, but I seem to always find myself in bed with.

I'm always tryin' to do something new, tryin' to look like a beginner.

There's no hierarchy in suffering. I think songs that are transcendent are the ones where everyone can feel something from it, you know?

Allow the artist to finish the piece of work before you critique it.

My legacy is in my family, not in my work. For me. I don't know about for other people. I try to forget a lot.
