I don't enjoy the work that I do. It's just that it's not self-sustaining anymore. The way that I like to make records - they're expensive records to make and just can't afford to do it anymore.

Have I been wrong? Have I been wise to shut my eyes?

I think I don't invest so much time in thinking about people's sexuality. I just take people as individuals.

I can't remove the autobiographical slant from the things I write. You always bring yourself into what you're writing.

I don't want to live in a culture of despair. I'd like to live in a culture of hope.

I'm on this search trying to figure out exactly who I am and what I have to say to people.

I don't have a lot of thrilling anecdotes about my career or personal life. All the stuff that is interesting is private and I wouldn't want people to know.
