I love mixing and matching patterns, styles old and new, feminine and masculine and drawing inspiration from characters like Annie Hall.

The song 'Wolf Eyes,' I wrote because I felt like I was such a kitten. I want to be more of a wolf. I want to be stronger and more independent. I sort of wrote the song for that.

I was a sort of New York intellectual when I was 16. I wanted to dress like Annie Hall when I was 18.

Every man who is any kind of artist has a great deal of female in him. I act and give of myself as a man, but I register and receive with the soul of a woman. The only really good artists are feminine. I can't admit the existence of an artist whose dominant personality is masculine.

I love mixing amateurs and professionals.

'Bell Choir Coast' is about a fictional land where I was able to start over, discover myself, and learn to take life a lot less seriously.
