I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

If you feel alienated from people around you, it's because no one tries to understand you.

I feel this music has nurtured me as I've been immersing myself in it. I've felt supported by it.

I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.

I feel like the reason people feel like they know me is because I'm giving you myself in the music. There's where the connection comes from; you can't Twitter that.

When hiring somebody, I never ask to see a curriculum vitae. I feel that since I didn't have one myself, it would be a bit presumptuous to ask to see anyone else's.
