before the gate -- my walking stick's made a river of melting snow
I think you have to keep a childlike quality to play music or make a record.
Anything goes. You always find interesting things that way.
I think my whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche.
There's a perception that if an artist produces another artist, they're going to imprint on them. But I'm the opposite. I want to hear that artist; I don't want to hear me - that's the last thing I want to hear. There are a lot of technical studio things I've learned or figured out, and I feel like I could use those things to help other people with what they're doing.
Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars.
I think I gave indications early on that mine wasn't just going to be a commercial, er, career. If that were the case, then the first record would have been 10 versions of 'Loser.

If you're always in the company of people who agree with you, you're going to think of people who don't agree with you as venal or stupid. I constantly tell my students that if they're in the company of people who always say "amen" to what you say, find other company. And that is the source of illiberalism, when you are unable to listen to someone who thinks differently. That's when democracies are in trouble.
A belief is something you will argue about. A conviction is something you will die for.
