I've always felt like an outsider across the board, since day one. The challenge has been to simply not pay attention to my outsider or insider status and just do the work and play the shows and connect with the people. And not even bother to play this game of keeping score, which is what destroys you.

There's a fundamental disconnection in society in the way we live, this way we live that we take so for granted, and we've become very separate from one another and we don't really take lot of time to realize that. And the math is overwhelming to the point of despair, but the answers could be so simple.

The challenge is to just focus on what's actually happening, focus on the people who get it, and focus on the people who are listening.

When we really see each other, we want to help each other.

Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus, but from being untouchable.

You know, there are so many snarky angry critics out there who are just sort of looking to tear down whoever is getting talked about.

I still get laughed at but it doesn't bother me, I'm just so glad to hear laughter around me.

How do we let people pay for music?

If you want the world to pay for projects, you have to be able to display why you're worthy.

Every album is just a greatest hits of whatever songs are on a pile when I go in to make a record.

In both the art and the business worlds, the difference between the amateurs and the professionals is simple: The professionals know they're winging it. The amateurs pretend they're not.
