I don't talk about my personal life. But the relationships I've had have usually been with other musicians. It's just easier that way.

I don't think I've ever put it in words before. But daddy took a gun and ended his life and took momma's with him.

I'm the audience first, and if you're gonna be a great performer, you need to be a great audience. So, I do music for me first, and whoever likes it likes it, and whoever doesn't -- well, it's just not for them.

It was hard to work and work and work and not get your music played on the radio.

You can't roll a joint on an iPod, buy vinyl.

I don't feel like taking anybody's money.

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.
