I don’t have a problem baring my emotions in music. That’s one of the reasons I’m glad to have music in my life. I’m pretty resilient as far as being a human being. A lot of songs write themselves.

Well, I had a record deal since I was 18, and it got me where I am.

I like to make great albums.

My drawings are another kind of music for me...they relax me and I think they all connect somehow.

I never sing a song more than twice because my fear of waning excitement for a piece is part of my troubles. I so rely on vibe, energy and emotions that the technical part occurs to me last.

It's time for artists to take their music back.

What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.
