I don't like myself, and I don't like to be looked at.

The thing I love about music is that you can take things that are painful, deep things that hurt you, and you can turn them into something beautiful.

Social situations, for me - it's very natural for me to be an observer. That's where I'm most comfortable. I observe things.

I'd much rather be playing songs than talking to people.

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

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

It bugs me that people think my songs are personal because it means I have to explain myself all the time.
