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

I still make music. I still write music and I record music, I just don't trust music promotion [and] distribution right now enough to record a new set of diligently worked-upon compositions. I do trust the audience and the audiences very much.

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.

I felt so liberated when I first saw Charles Mee’s 'The Glory of the World' at BAM play, because for me this is the gateway to contemplation, or this is the gateway to love, or this is the gateway to faith, not sitting and reading a book by an isolated monk, god bless him. This is.

I feel much more physically connected to my voice, and I like the physicality of the voice, and how the voice can physically occupy a song.

I think that what trips up a lot of great musicians is that they become involved with too many things that aren't where their strengths lie.

I figure it's okay to make certain rules, whether or not people despise you for it at the time.
