I really wanted to work with David Lynch. I was a big fan of The Elephant Man and Eraserhead.

I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.

I think love has something to do with allowing a person you claim to love to enter a larger arena than the one you create for them.

That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere.

Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast.

A gentleman will walk but never run.. it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.. be yourself no matter what they say.

I see songs not as a commodity used up when the album goes off the charts, which is often the case with pop songs. I see them as a body of work. Life should be breathed into them.
