People get very thoughtful when they are in cars. I no longer care for cars. I don't collect them.

I think dysfunctional people are being funneled into very corporate behaviour. Look at the Brits... no one's fighting, and it's boring.

I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if that's all you've got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it's happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it.

People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.

For me, there are two types of people: the young and the experienced.

I don't think people care about the mechanics of songwriting.
