I am responsible for me. I can kind of take care of what I need to do and should do what I like to do.

My last two records that I made were both quite pointed in one direction and I think I do my best stuff when it's all over the map, when there's a couple traditional things, a couple pretty rocking things.

I've always been the high harmony singer. It's never my job to know the verses! But I know the chorus of every song ever made.

When I look back, I don't remember the best of the best. I don't remember arena shows with 20,000 people. I remember funky little bar gigs where nobody shows up. The weirdest of the weird are what you retain.

Music is like having a conversation. All musicians inspire each other, and they're all geared to play something that matters.

I've always been more drawn to being normal than being famous.

You learn a whole lot more about a person if they have bad breaks and all those kind of things.
