I think that music, or at least the kind of music that I make, benefits greatly from improvisation.

I routinely never discuss my marriage. It's nice to have things in my life that are totally mine.

A lot of the songs I write are like songs that I've never been able to find on any record, but that I've always wanted to hear. Or maybe in a style I already loved, but I was looking for something in it that I wasn't hearing yet.

I kiss her mouth and I know... for everything there is a word... for everything but this.

I'm a pretty bad troubadour. I'm more of a music fan who got away with making records.

You can imagine several scenes from Star Wars? The way they looked? For me, that's how music is. Sometimes I'll be developing riffs for songs, just while I'm sitting around and not playing.

Rock records. It's the main source of inspiration for people - fans, or musicians, or both - to act out in ways that they wouldn't normally act out. Especially rock critics. Ultimately, records don't really hurt anybody, and neither do reviews.
