It was a really strange way that I came into music. Once I gave voice to it, the pit of emotions that I guess I knew was inside of me for a long time, the stream never really stopped.

I write in a very strange way. Things are very fragmentary for a very long time, and then they come together very quickly near the end of the process.

I came to terms with not fitting in a long time ago. I never really fitted in. I don't want to fit in. And now people are buying into that.

I can touch my toes, but I bend in a strange way. I'll never be in the Olympics.

I can't control what people think of me, and I stopped really caring a long time ago.

I think when you're a fan of music - at least the way I've been a fan to artists that have really touched me - you're with them for the long haul. They might do things that you don't understand or agree with, but I think I've always tried to hold my judgment and give them the space to do what they need to do.
