I'm pretty confident that people are going to come along for the ride. If they don't, tough.

At a certain age, children are total Id - they're anything but beautiful little flowers. That always interests me. The place where the ego and the superego start, and where guilt and socialization and morality takes place, the true root of it.

Swans are majestic, beautiful looking creatures. With really ugly temperaments.

You find ways to push yourself into the sound through repetition. It doesn't stay the same. It morphs constantly.

I'm just as comfortable performing solo with just my acoustic guitar and vocal as I am with a band. The main thing for me is that the performance remain rooted in the words and voice, that there be no place to hide.

It wouldn't interest me to try to sound like Cop or something. It would be silly and soul-crushing.
