Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.
I like my coffee like I like my romantic partners: cold and bitter and prone to giving me anxiety attacks.
Now small fowls flew screaming over the yet yawning gulf; a sullen white surf beat against its steep sides; then all collapsed; and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.
If I spend 100 days in a row making music there’s a chance nothing will come of it. But if I spend 100 days not making music it’s guaranteed that nothing will come of it. So keep working.
What fascinates me about addiction and obsessive behavior is that people would choose an altered state of consciousness that's toxic and ostensibly destroys most aspects of your normal life, because for a brief moment you feel okay.
Unfortunately I'm still straight. But who knows, life is complicated and maybe I'll wake up gay tomorrow! Here's hoping. And congratulations to everyone who lives in a place where they can marry the person they love, regardless of gender!

I honestly just love being in my studio working on music. That's all the inspiration I need. And I don't write with an end result in mind, I just write for the simple love of writing.
I'm just fascinated with the world that I can see, but I'm even more fascinated with the world that I can't see.
If I was a sex symbol, I would be getting laid a lot more than I am now.
I'm like a bad musical cliche because I bring my guitar on the road and try to write songs in hotel rooms.
It's heartbreaking that so many hundreds of millions of people around the world are desperate for the right to vote, but here in America people stay home on election day.
