I would love to love something, especially if I could do it without feeling like I was watching it die right in front of me.

Some things are so sad that they have no name. I have tried to name them and I can't.

If you're with an agent and they don't like where your work is going - the pressure behind it is the pressure of the hierarchy which says "I know what I am talking about," which I find offensive.

For me it comes down to one thing: I'm trying to follow my own nature.

As a songwriter and musician, it strikes me that in music, a certain territorial nature when it comes to one's own autonomy around life and art is common and understood.

Being well-mannered and gracious and kind are things that I value really highly.

The world is a violent child none of us will get to see grow up.
