I like to make great albums.

The only way to get ahead in the music business these days is to call up all your friends. To pool your resources.

I feel like I've kind of gotten to a peaceful place in my heart.

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.

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