My only concern about art collaborations is that I never thought of myself as an Artist. My tax forms say Musician/Songwriter.

There's nothing cutting edge about what I'm trying to do. I'm not creating a new sound. I'm not like Bjork, who's an alien from another world. I'm of the earth. You could extract any measure of music out of anything I've ever done and you could find its affiliations in music history.

Life is all about toiling and labor. But obviously I get great joy in confronting challenge and taking risk.

There's such a magnitude of record taking. It's so exhaustive. Bandwidth and hard drive space are able to accommodate limitless capacities to take a record of anything and everything.

I’ve never known a man who loved me.

I still describe myself as a Christian, and my love of God and my relationship with God is fundamental, but its manifestations in my life and the practices of it are constantly changing. I find incredible freedom in my faith.

Love is unconditional and incomprehensible. And I believe it's possible to love absent of mutual respect.
