There's no prayer like desire.

I like writing melody without an instrument. It's just so - it's more like the choreography of a bee; you just go.

On my gravestone, I want it to say, "I told you I was sick."

Unfortunately, I made the mistake at one point of putting my address on the back of one of my albums, just to find out what would happen. I received a lot of disturbing mail and calls. Actually, I was living in a hotel, so it was easy enough to find the number. I got a kick out of it for a while. Then I realized what I'd done.
