"I sometimes don't know what songs are about for several years after I've written them."

"And if you stop and think about it you won't believe it's true: That all the love you've been giving has all been meant for you."

"I can be stupid in my lyrics or say whatever I want without having to worry about anybody else's feeling or anybody being embarrassed by it or anything like that."

"Just what you want to be, you will be in the end."

"My songs form a kind of biography or diary of my life as they are about people I have loved and people I only knew in my heart, places I have seen only for a moment and places I have lived all my life."
