You know if I see a work that really I am very affected by and inspired by then it makes me want to try things with my work that maybe I hadn't considered trying before and I think that is the biggest complement that you can pay somebody.

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.

Some people, like Leonard Cohen, write one album every 10 years, and labor over a song for five years at a time.

I had a chip on my shoulders 'cause I felt like I was being overlooked.

To think of myself as a role model is extremely flattering, but I could never accept that, because Im just learning like everybody else.

Well, I'm quite a self-deprecating person.

You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.
