Nothing can stop us now 'cause we are all made of stars.

I have no perspective as regards my work. One reason I put out records and books is people respond to it, and it enables you to actually see the work more clearly. It's a form of therapy for me. Sometimes abusive therapy.

Sometimes people will think, I need to have pre-sanctioned spiritual joy. Getting joy from my contemplative meditation practice or getting joy from reading Thich Nhat Hahn books. Those things can be joyful but I think it’s the small, simple joys of playing with dogs or having sex with someone you love or going for a walk outside, stuff that we tend to ignore.

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.

You make mistakes and you learn from them.

God has taken his chosen people, the problem being you are the only non-chosen person.

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