I take all of my music seriously and personally..

Almost no one sings like Elvis Presley any more..

Your life on the Outside reflects your life on the Inside.

Nobody was interested in me before I bought the Nets..

I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be anywhere. I'm not kidding..

Often the most specific stories end up being the most universal..

There is this thing about time that you can't see at the time you're at..

No one will ever make your movie. They will only make their movie..

I play a whole lot of instruments pretty badly, instead of playing one instrument really well..

I have failed at many things, but I have never been afraid..

It's amazing how if you turn up at a studio without an idea, a picture will take itself from momentum, and you quickly can lose control..

I perceived that I wouldn't have to go out and search for what I was supposed to do- it would unfold before me..
