I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.

The only goal is in the process. The process is in the thing with little flashes of light: those are the gigs, the live shows... it's the life in between. That's all I've got.

I don't really go on what people say so much; I go on their voice. I go on their energy at the time. I go on how close their arms are folded into their chest.

Certain emotions just take you to the notes - being furious, heroic, sad, erotic, when rain comes.

On my record cover, you can barely see my face. I still think I look really geeky.

All these people that want to make me out as part of Generation X had better watch out, or they're going to get X'd out themselves.
