I think people do expect something a little weird to happen. Maybe they've seen something I did once on the Internet and expect that I'm gonna do that every night.

I'm just being myself. I'm not a very complex guy; I'm not a very studious, crazy intellectual guy. I'm just a guy.

Patience is important, and also, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. But if you do, do. That's a general rule in how I live my life.

I thought I knew Elton John, but then it was like, "Woah, Elton's a pimp! He's really amazing." And since Billy and Elton are homies, I'm finally getting it - the two piano boys.

I was having a good time before, but you grow up after a couple years and realize, "I can't get drunk like this every night." Things change.

Perfectionist? Thats not something I am.

Once a song comes out, these songs aren't mine. They're everybody's. So there you go.

Regardless of how funny I want to be, I don't ever have a problem speaking from my heart or speaking honestly to people.

I take making music seriously, but you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. I invite people into my life. That's how I do it.

Journalists say my music is "blue wave," or "dreamy," or "jangly-slacker jewel," and none of it really makes sense to me.

I don't have that much experience in the studio, but I'm always really uncomfortable when I'm there. You're on the clock and it costs a lot of money.

I believe one would write better if the climate were bad. If there were a lot of wind and storms for example...

There are all kinds of ways to be in the world. And no matter what has happened to us, or what we have been told, or what we have believed, we get to choose our way.

We have to do one thing at a time. We can't be fighting ISIS and fighting [Bashar]Assad. Assad is fighting ISIS. He is fighting ISIS. Russia is fighting now ISIS. And Iran is fighting ISIS.

There is a vital lesson to be learned here, a Truth our society must not lose sight of, and that is the sanctity of every human life and the dignity of every individual.

Actions have consequences... first rule of life. And the second rule is this - you are the only one responsible for your own actions.

If you're bourgeois, money is it. It's all the questions and all the answers. Ain't no E-flat or color blue, only $12.98 or $1,000. If it isn't money, it isn't nothing.

In radio, you are the game, so to speak - you have to describe every aspect. In TV, Ive always felt less is more, and its really a question of my setting up the color analyst more than anything else.

The past goes right on pulling me apart, though I can scarcely remember the people or the issues.

I continue to be very shy. I think a lot of actors and performers are really weird, shy people working it out onstage. I don't know why that is.

After realising my natural affinity towards surrealism several years ago I decided to study it's origins and definitions.
