I make the songs and part of making them is singing them. But what you hear is not me. It's the song. It's through me.

Sometimes we need to tell ourselves that we're not going to do certain things, just in order to stay sane.

What is normally called religion is what I would tend to call music - participating in music, listening to music, making records and singing.

My dream many years ago would've been to continue to write and record songs in record/album form for years to come, but now records aren't what they were then - and so it doesn't actually feel very good to make a record of songs.

On days where I feel the karma is in balance I'm not afraid of death. And when I feel it's weighing heavily on the negative side, then I get very scared and just think about eternal damnation and how unpleasant that would be.

I think most great actors have their own life trajectory, the character motion doesn't have anything to do with their life motion.

When I was a kid, I always thought that acting was going to be the way to go.
