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.
Sufjan StevensFiction has always been a thorn in my side, because I've always wanted to be a writer but I can't seem to really do it.
Sufjan StevensTuesday night at the Bible study we lift our hands and pray over your body, but nothing ever happens.
Sufjan StevensI don't really have a domestic inclination. Even my apartment has a semblance of a storage facility. It's just stacks, there are no bookshelves, just books and piles of stamp collections and weird little sewing and knitting projects.

Sufjan StevensI love kissing. If I could kiss all day, I would. I canโt stop thinking about kissing. I like kissing more than sex because thereโs no end to it. You can kiss forever. You can kiss yourself into oblivion. You can kiss all over the body. You can kiss yourself to sleep. And when you wake up, you canโt stop thinking about kissing. Dammit, I canโt get anything done because Iโm so busy thinking about kissing. Kissing is madness! But itโs absolute paradise, if you can find a good kisser.
