I Draw The Line At Letting People

I Have Never In My Career Embarked On A Journey Towards Controversy. I Have Never Deliberately Set A Flame.

Life As It Should Be: All Friends, All Art, All Music, All Love, All The Time.

I Never Wanted To Grow A Thicker Skin; I Felt A Real Sense Of Pride In My Thin Skin, And In A Weird Way, I Still Do, Because It's My Thin Skin That Allows Me To Empathize With Other People. It's The Thing That Allows Me To Create Vulnerable Art. It's The Thing That Allows Me To Create Other Feelings And Make Songs That Actually Grab People And Touch People. I Feel Like I've Spent My Life Fighting That Thicker Skin Because I Don't Want To Become An Embittered Asshole.

You Tour And You Work Hard And You Take Care Of Your Fans And Very Real Things Lead To Other Real Things. There's Never Been Some Fantastic Fluke Or Break In My Career, It Has All Been Very Slow And Steady.

The Stage Show Is, In Some Sense, Highly Theatrical. It's Definitely Not Just A Band In Jeans Playing Rock And Roll.
