There's nothing worse than someone coming up to me and going Oh God, I really love your hair.

I quite like Low, the band from Minnesota. They're absolutely mesmerizing. I get much the same feeling from anything that Will Oldham does.

I love playing live, I don't like studios all that much. I need the reaction of the audience.

Wherever you look there are inspirations, books, literature, paintings, landscapes, everything. Just living is an inspiration.

I'm not a workaholic, but I was a bit manic, I have to confess.

I don't look my age, I don't feel my age and I don't act my age. To me age is just a number.

I may like the Blizzard best, of all the songs I have written

An unlimited future. Isn't that what America is all about?
