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

It's a mystical quality of music, that music isn't really concrete, and it's communicating abstractions about imaginary worlds. At least, my music's like that. It's not real. It's unreal, it's all fabrication. To write a song about Obama would suddenly break the spell.

I’ve never known a man who loved me.

Art is... a reflection of a greater divine creation. There really is no separation.

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.

I'm terrified of just being myself because I think it's boring. I know who I really am and I think it's boring.
