I think that you have to let yourself be agitated and annoyed and not be fully comfortable.

I write a tiny fraction of what I used to write. My only job used to be to just write songs, and that was a really nice job to have, but only a tiny amount of people heard those songs, and I didn't make a living from it, and eventually I begged my parents to let me move back into my room.

Every morning I wake up with a purpose and a smirk

Somebody's got to tell all the people to be like the water

Most of the time I don't even talk about any direct lineage of songs, because I feel like it just chains them down into my own consciousness, and the whole fun of them is being able to live in others' consciousness.

Pickle jars are just pickle jars, and pickles are just pickles.

I think both you and I, we live in a world of fiction and stories.
