My town was even smaller. Only six hundred people. We didn't have a grocery store.

Maybe I'm just purely lucky. If I've come up against obstacles I've always found another way around it.

Never settle for anything less than you want.

It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent.

I have learnt through doing interviews throughout my life that the way that somebody can write about something can change entirely how it was meant, or what actually happened.

I also like a lot of silence, and when you're touring, it's constantly noise, all the time, you're surrounded with 15 or 20 people the entire time. I find that tough.

I don't think that much anymore in terms of 'write a record, record a record, tour a record,' because in my own mind, things have changed, in that I'm just an ongoing artist. I'm not quite sure what the next project needs to be until it presents himself, and then I know. I just follow dutifully while I'm being led.
