To truly live a creative life means that you will need to experiment in as many different fields as possible.

I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.

Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.

As music became more profitable in the 1990s, it seemed like it attracted a lot of people who were just interested in the financial aspect of it, which is depressing.

I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.

I'm pretty much a realist. There's a certain age you get to when you're not really going to be shown anymore.

I'm actually cautiously optimistic that Donald Trump will be so bad that he will force America to wake up and realise that forcing America to vote for right wing Republicans is always a terrible idea. It's never been a good idea, but what happened here is you have a president like Obama who gives you eight years of relative stability and prosperity, and people forget that Republicans are just terrible, not just for the country but for the planet. Maybe this is America's equivalent of bottoming out, like a crystal meth addict going on one last big run before they have to get sober.
