I can't get excited by my own music. It's impossible.

My voice sucks. I don't like the tone.

I feel calm when I'm on my own.

There's nothing in the world so sad as talking to a man who never knew his life was his for making.

I want to write music that will outlive me.

I need space between me and the audience - and the more space the better.

It's so easy to get caught up in your own experiences. They can seem so important. But there are billions and billions of other experiences going on.
