My music is so often like a lullaby I write to myself to make sense of things I can't tie together, or things I've lost, or things I'll never have.

I try to be the fixer of situations and I gravitate to people who are institutional misfits.

My music is my way to rearrange the world according to my own hopes.

You make kingdoms and castles on your own.

Sex is funny and love is serious.

I would say, if you're a musician then you probably have some capacity and some intuition. You've got to trust that intuition and be true to what compels you. There will be a lot of things along the way that will try to remove you from that, and if you do, then I think you are diminished. If you stay with it, then you have something that's real.

I like people who have a pulse and aren't afraid to show it.
