I think that most art is asking a question or is looking for something, looking for answers and that is what life seems to be about for most people.

At this point in my life, I'm probably not gonna be able to stop writing because it's gonna help me be able to do what I need to do.

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

Ever since time began: What song is not about love? Whether it's about love from man to woman or parent to child, or grandmother to granddaughter... It just goes on and on. Or whether it's the love of one's country.

I decide immediately if I like a person and if I do, then I'm myself, and if I don't, then I give nothing.

I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs.

I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.
