I write songs from the point of view I had at a time;I'm not tryingto write songs from a young person's point of view.That only ends in disaster.

Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.

We are still struggling with people who don't feel comfortable going into museums. As a visual artist I ask how artists can be part of enacting a change.

Songwriting, I have to take myself away from everybody to do. It's an unsightly act.

I'm always sort of looking for projects that I can sort of put out into the world, into the public sphere, and to somehow cause an effect. I want to be able to create projects that sort of are going to make people think and think in this sort of magical, sort of fantastical way.

He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in.

You write a scene, and it works or it doesn't. It's immediate.
