I've heard from writers and musicians and fans that they think I'm underrated.

Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs.

I've never said, 'I'm squeaky clean.' It's always the people who project that image that are hiding something. No one's squeaky clean.

I mean I was famous for nothing.

When someone pursues music through your music, that's the greatest accolade anybody can get.

I think we shape God in our own image a lot of the time.

I do have a lot of deep religious iconography. I have crosses all over my house, and there's something very attractive about seeing nuns walking down the street. It's not a sexual thing for me; I know it is for some guys.
