I just have to remind myself that my daily quotidie in life has almost nothing to do with any aspect of my professional life as a public figure.

When I do have time to work on music, I'm kind of selfish, and would rather work on my own stuff than someone else's.

What I love about making albums in the 21st century is that so few people buy albums! I can make an album without any commercial concerns whatsoever.

I've done the performing monkey stuff and massive breakdowns, it's just they weren't documented.

I know it's simple, but my main inspiration is just my love of music. I know that sounds overly naive. But it's true.

I sort of use as my guiding principle that show The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Whenever possible, do the stupid thing.

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