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.

I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.

What we are fed through the media I do not accept, unless you see it with your own eyes you cant trust anything.

I find it hard myself to feel justified to sing in a very politically direct way about war or social conditions because I feel so ignorant of a lot of it.

I'm a very private person, so obviously I don't enjoy talking about more personal matters. But at the same time I care very much about my work and I would like people to know that it exists. So I appreciate that there's a meeting point, where I would like people to know about the work that I'm doing, and that requires me to talk about it.

First off, I think nudity is taken differently in America, though they did make a fuss in England, too.

There's so much you can do with laying words on a bed of music. You can completely change their meaning with the type of music or the way they're sung.
