When you feel like you've had a good show, you go backstage and you talk to yourself about it, and if you have a bad show you talk to yourself about it.

At this point in my life Id like to live as if only love mattered.

We are the spirit, the collective conscience. We create the pain, and suffering, and beauty in this world.

Now love's the only thing that's free /We must take it where it's found /Pretty soon it may be costly

Love's a recurring theme through my work.

With other people, you're always swapping music. Somebody is always listening to something you've never heard. It's a great way to hear all sorts of new things.

Songwriting is a very mysterious process. It feels like creating something from nothing. It's something I don't feel like I really control.
