There were some things that I found I really enjoyed singing about; like, on the title track, there's this film-noir character of a woman who's sort of losing it in a room.

I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel like I really don't have to prove anything at this point other than what I'm doing.

I love music so much I love what I do. I work very hard at being the best musician I can be because I love it.

I like to interpret 'Call me a River', as if I'm saying, 'Now you're telling me you love me after all that, and I'm telling you to shove off.' That's my interpretation. But I would never 'say' that because somebody else might interpret the song in another way.

Writing for television is completely different from movie scriptwriting. A movie is all about the director's vision, but television is a writer's medium.

Since I was the solo artist as well as the writer for the songs, I figured I had enough credits on it already.

I have no conceit as a writer; in fact, I find it very difficult to start writing about sculpture generally & my aims in particular.

When we think back at our youth, we always remember the feeling of freedom... that you actually believe in the world. Even if it goes well for you in life, you can never attain that freedom in your imagination of what you think life could be. We are tainted.
