I think that everything in this life is a story you know; our own narrative, our own history, it's all a story.

No one laughs at God in a hospital.

There's something about trying to know when you really need to protect yourself, or else you're not going to get anything done, and sometimes to be really uncomfortable or agitated or annoyed or bored. Boredom is so important.

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

I just think music is one of those frontiers where people really want the "I" to be you.

I figured, 'If I ever get offered a chance to sign a deal, I'll only do it if I got to do it how I want.' So my contract is structured in such a way that I'm really protected.

When I walk through the city, I just think that I see my family. I see us in everybody, you know? I see us.
