It's better to not set your expectations high. And that's what happens when you have a long career - not every album is going to be record setting.

Processed pig is white trash meat. Some people call it Spam.

It doesn't matter what kind of problems a family is having; it should always stay in the family.

I want a performance style that's more cerebral and emotional than physical. I want to be a creative artist, not a whirling dervish.

When people ask me if I have a hobby, a lot of times my answer is that I like to surf in warm water. I like to ski, if I have the opportunity. But really, I like to go to my studio and write music that I want to write, where there's no pressure to come up with a hit single.

I prefer to break new ground, but it gets harder and harder with the territory that's already been walked on.

I tend to get my hands into all these other things and all these distractions, and after a while I start feeling depleted.
