I really have a problem with any kind of drug, I always have.

I am always hoping to do another CD. This atmosphere has been difficult.

I don't think somebody can just, like, wave a magic wand and make you a star.

When you have a knowledge of history, it's very soothing. When there's continuity in your life, it's soothing.

Of course, everybody's family is dysfunctional - we've accepted that. What are we supposed to do? Hate our parents for the rest of our lives?

When you're collaborating with somebody who's got a lot of stuff they haven't worked out yet, you're working out their vision as well.

I'm very much an optimist. I don't think I could do my work if I didn't believe there was some kind of hope for humanity.
