loneliness feelings reason
Usually there's no specific reason for loneliness - it's a broad feeling.
fun soul stupidest
It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.
As it turns out, it's really expensive to make movies, much more than records.
computer cold share
I don't like going to the studio. It just seems too cold. There's no crowd to react to, or share anything with; it's just talking into a microphone that's going into a computer.
block character giving
If you've ever sang in falsetto, you know that your throat is between your voice and your mouth. In a standard voice, you sing from your belly. And when you sing in a falsetto, you're blocking that. It gives it a filter. It gives it a character. It's less revealing.
thinking vision trying
I wouldn't claim to know what another person is thinking. I can imagine it, but it's my interpretation, and I try to make that clear. It's my vision of what I think their life is. I don't think there are empirical truths in that regard.
thinking singing
I think I like singing when I'm singing live. It's just in the studio when it's a drag.
fun
I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.
great schooled whether
When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes. It comes down to people's personalities and individual energies.
writing musician folk-music
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words.
art best god guys homer moses powerful shakespeare thank
Thank God we don't know a lot about Shakespeare or Moses or Homer or Lautreamont. These are the best guys we got, and their art is powerful because they're mysterious.
people
A lot of people don't know what it's like to actually be hungry. I do. I've also slept on the streets.
response separate song
Sometimes I feel like I finish a song, and there's another song that I have to write in response to that song. Each is like its own separate feeling, its own separate universe.
baseball team hero
A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.
