I get painted quite a bit as a tragic figure because of some of the stuff that's happened in my life.

Though I can't change what happened, I can choose how to react. And I don't want to spend the rest of my life being bitter and locked up.

It's not as if the stories merge to a point where you think they are your life, but you do let them in the front door and the back door, and it's okay that sometimes certain characters stay for dinner.

I gave up trying to please others and started playing for myself, and because I love music, things naturally happened then. Funny how that works.

If you sing to the mermaids, they come when you're drowning.

Things go wrong all the time; you can't be precious about it.

These precious things, let them bleed.
