Some things were made to be felt

Music is my thing. It's my thing; it's what I love. It's what I do. It's football to me; it's Christmas to me; religion to me; poetry to me.

While you can fill every heart as your own full of laughter loud as gold and passion quick as silver.

On Heartbreaker, I had to sing those songs. I drank the way I did those songs. I ate the way I did those songs. I communicated the way I did those songs.

Can you still have any famous last words if you're somebody nobody knows?

I like the idea that within the structure of the song, some kind of built-in improvisation keeps them fragile and in their moment, so that I'm not projecting so much, so that my perception of the song doesn't interfere with what its real body is. Sometimes it's like telling a story that I heard in passing, and I don't want it to become completely mine.

It would be really nice to make a record that would be super-fun to play live - a record that would be funny, with a little bit of heart.
