I think songwriters are more related to fiction writers. The Odyssey was a story in song. To me, that's so beautiful, all those painted characters, all those travels and adventures.

Even if you're an observer of a story that you yourself made up, you're still very much connected to it. You love it and feel it, no less than somebody's who's writing from their direct 'I' or 'me.' I'm just so much more interesting in stories than confessions.

I go through insanity before a show. It's not really a process but it's like absolute mortal fear.

You can take art, you can have a baby, you can have a career.

You get to be your own curator of your own exhibits inside.

As you get older as an animal on the planet, you want to get a little more comfortable, you want to get cozier.

I think that so many people don't understand how easy it is to be broke, how easy it is to find yourself in a situation where you're in an absolutely foreign place.
