If someone writes a nice review of my record, I feel like I should take them out to dinner or go over and clean their apartment.

As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.

I don't think I'm a particularly good writer, and I'm not terribly insightful.

This whole world is run by brutes for the common and the stupid.

For me, love is very non-academic. Love, it’s a very physical thing. I don’t mean physical in terms of - I mean, it can be sexual. But those moments when I’m aware of the fact that I love someone or love something, it really manifests physically.

Better a loving single-parent family than a 'conventional' family where the parents hate each other and the father is a demagogue.

Luckily almost no one buys music anymore, so selling music doesn't really affect any of my professional decisions.
