I think of myself as a songwriter, a weaver of story and imagination in a way that a novelist might write a book.

Never settle for anything less than you want.

I try to see as much dance, theatre and films as I can because all of it feeds me in a way that I need feeding for what I do.

I think Ive got a pretty good sense of humor.

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.

The artists that I love- whether painters or filmmakers- it's because something resonates in me because I've felt it.

It [ "Not For Long"] was the biggest song that I've had, and I actually heard it on the radio multiple times.
