Tomorrow you might get a phone call about something wonderful and you might get a phone call about something terrible.

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

You are my sweetest downfall.

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

When I think of my art tribe - you know, my peeps - there are certain people who are autobiographers that I really love. But for the most part, overwhelmingly, my tribes are the surrealists and the storytellers, in song and literature.

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.

I care so much about making things that are useful for people to have and listen to, but I don't care so much that I won't do whatever the hell I want. It's just one of those things.
