When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.

I think a master craftsman is someone who is unpretentious. He has a physical object in front of him and, while he works with a higher aim, he doesn't let his personality get in the way of his art. It's simply about the task at hand and to make it as functional and necessary to the world as he can.

Everyone wants to be well-loved and appreciated but, at the same time, there are some people that just don't want to be your friend, and there's nothing you can do or say to change that.

I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.

Image
I love songs because by nature they are concise they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.

It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.

People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.

I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.

I took piano lessons when I was a little kid, but even before that, you're singing in the classroom and wherever. Gosh, children are always singing. But I took music lessons, some choir and things like that at school. I learned how to play the guitar when I was about 13... ancient history.
