David Lynch is my friend, and I love his movies and his art and his music. Few things make me happier than working with him.

A part of me wants to sort of try and sound cool and feed this myth that I'm some sort of glamorous lothario, but I was raised by women - my mother and her mother and my aunts - and as a result, most of my friends have always been women.

My goal is to make one-not a hodgepodge, but just the sort of record that I would want to listen to.

We do all, myself included, we tend to hold ourselves to pretty low standards. But when it comes to judging public figures or politicians or people we've never met, we tend to hold people to very high standards, and, if we held ourselves to those standards, we'd always fall short.

When you're signed to a big label you're always in the position of convincing them, especially now because labels are barely keeping the lights on, so getting them to spend a little bit of money is really hard.

I honestly haven't thought much about what to play and where, perhaps i should...it seems like most musicians are better at that than I am.

Keep your weather eye open, and sing out every time.
