I don't listen to much rap, really. I can rarely listen to a whole record of it, because musically, it's very formulaic, and oftentimes it doesn't have the best hooks on every track. I like my music to be very musical.

I'm getting offers for movie stuff. But it shows how facile the movie industry is. I mean, they don't know I can act. I guess they like my record and think I have a nice complexion? I don't know. How many people work and wait tables to get that break? I really don't feel entitled. Everything's so corrupt, you know? Especially the tastemakers. I trust the American public much more than the tastemakers.

You know, if I can survive marching band, I can survive anything.

I think people at most record labels really like music, but it's hard because everything is so subjective, and everyone's so creative in their own right.

There's a side of me that identifies with Aileen Wuornos.

I have trouble with any kind of focus or concentrating, or getting anything done at all, really.

As long as you have imagination, you never need to work. You never get bored. You could just walk around and go to museums and check out new movies. You could be busy in New York city for 10,000 years.
