My creative process is quite slow. I hear melodies in my head while I'm washing the dishes and I allow my subconscious to do the work.

They're my positive chaos, my children.

My favorite way of working is if somebody gives me a piece of music, because I'm quite limited as a player, so it's my favorite thing if somebody gives me a piece of music, and then I can write lyrics and melodies.

I don't believe in any kind of artistic snobbery or musical snobbery. You know, to me, the sexiest and the most spiritual words ever uttered in rock and roll are wop babaloo balop bam boom.

It's been seven hours and fifteen days, since you took your love away.

Nobody gets between me and my microphone.

What I hope is to really focus on being a songwriter. I'd love to write songs for other people; that's something I'd really like to start doing.
