Guys are idiots, till they're what, 40 years old.

I'm too old to be farting around with stuff that isn't precisely what I want to do.

I've always wanted to be a songwriter and a storyteller and somebody who conveys a feeling to the listener or the viewer.

Selling records is fantastic. But if you're not loving what you do, and if everybody is throwing knives at you, it can get old very fast.

There may be something good in silence. It's a brand new thing. You can hear the funniest little discussions, if you keep turning the volume down. Shut yourself up, and listen out loud.

I've never really been schooled in music theory. I'm a guitar player, and I attack the guitar in a certain way that it not fully unique to me, but it's more unique that some other people.

I would love to put out music that was just stunning or soul-baring or whatever. But I don't think I have the voice for it.
