It's weird. People want you to know that they write. They want you to know they're a musician, rather than making music or making stories. It's the strangest thing.

Fashion costs money, but songs are free. You can write them for free and you can sing them for free and they can infect those around you or the people from the future and they can sing them for free too.

We're artists. We cry out to be exploited on some level. Write a dissertation on my work. Write a biography about me.

There's always tons of crap music people are trying to sell us - [it's] the same way with publishers and galleries.

With my stuff, I think I've tried. I've been courted. I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I've been courted to be someone who could sell a lot of books.

I think all good art is outsider art.

I think maybe it's my personality. People don't like my face.
