It's striking how commercially viable that impulse for instant intimacy is right now, especially in songs and writing.

I always thought that if I was popular I must be doing something wrong.

I still feel conflicted because I don't always get to spend as much time with my daughter as I'd like, given my work.

I had some fears as a kid, but I was also relatively fearless. Maybe that's a result of living half the time in reality and the other half in fantasy.

Don't make a threat and then not do it.

I was always inventing characters and making up stories.

If language were liquid, it would be rushing in. Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent than any word could ever be.
