I didn't have any great job prospects.

I think we are dying in America, I think our democracy is over.

I put out a recording of me singing mostly jazz because I wanted people to know I'm coming from a jazz background.

I like words. Words are places, rooms, distant airs, thin and tropical. They make us feel and imagine we are more than our bodies.

I get weary of reading about rebirths because we're all growing all the time and it diminishes the life you've lived if you say 'I'm a new person.

I never knew when I was gong to leave. I might be walking over to a kid's house, then of all a sudden I would just stick out my thumb and hitchhike across three states.

When I was single my career was my life, so everything I did was of grave importance and was greatly disturbing.
