It's a bit embarrassing watching myself, but I couldn't get someone else to play me, that would've been stupid.

I like music because it's the only invisible art form.

If the reviews hurt they're probably right on some level.

There are only really a few stories to tell in the end, and betrayal and the failure of love is one of those good stories to tell.

I like to have books around to give me ideas-to get the verbal part of my brain to start working.

I wouldn't say the purpose of making art is to enjoy it necessarily. For me, it happens to be the thing I enjoy the most. I don't even know what the purpose of art is really, I just know that is something that makes me feel satisfied in a way that other things don't. That's all I know, that's why I like to write songs and films or draw. I just like to make things and somehow I find it gives me a feeling of satisfaction that I can't find in other areas of my life.

My dad, he's definitely one of greatest writers of his generation. There is no question about it. When you are that good, when work is that good, you have to appreciate every aspect of it. It's the architecture of it, it's like looking at a Frank Lloyd Wright building or a Lautner building, it's master craftsmanship. Every aspect of it intertwines in a perfectly harmonious way. That's what architecture is at its best and the architecture of my father's music is on that level.
