I'm real easy-going.

Music is real. It affects people; it's real.

Time is a mind construct. It's not real.

People don't understand real musicians anymore. Jack White is great - he's the real thing - but he isn't having hits.

I write to music, and Nina Simone is always on my playlist to write to. I mean, she's inspiring. She's truthful and real and raw.

To create something from nothing is one of the greatest feelings, and I would - I don't know, I wish it upon everybody. It's heaven.
