I've told people that I don't see myself living very long. That really upsets them, but I'm just being honest.

The minute you feel like you've completed something you lose that momentum. I've learned how to avoid that. That's the bottom line.

Music is one of the few things I'm relatively good at, one of the things I understand a little better than everything else.

I'm a perfectionist; there's always something we need to improve upon, and I think that's a really healthy model for artistic growth and progressing. I'm not ready for a masterpiece.

To speak the truth is easy and pleasant.
