I've always had a lot of respect from the people I respected.

It takes a whole lot of medicine for me to pretend I am somebody else.

We'll have a kid or maybe we'll rent one. He's got to be straight, we don't want a bent one.

I'm interested in geography and weather and things like that, and if you don't write love songs, you've gotta go somewhere. I wrote a lot about places because that's what else there was. I had to stop myself from writing more of them.

Most of my songs are about insensitivity of some kind.

I've written a song for Prince. I never showed it to Prince, but just to see if I could do it. At the time, when I sort of knew him, he was recording a song a day. I wondered if I could do that. So I wrote it.

I am half a man, holy Jesus, what a drag.
