Most songs are somewhere between love and death, and mine are no exception.

If I played just one song from every album, I would be onstage for two and a half hours. No one wants a show that long.

I would be quite happy never to play any of my better-known songs again. But unless you're Dylan, you can't afford to completely disregard what your audience wants.

I think The Beatles are the lasting influence on me, even more so than Dylan.

People in the future look back on primitive machinery or technology or painting, and in some ways, it always seems amazingly intricate and finely wrought.

Generally, I have an instinct for the noncommercial. And the unpopular.

Production is something Ive never come to terms with.
