I Make The Songs And Part Of

To Me, The Best Purpose Of An Interview Would Be To Illuminate Some Things About How Somebody Works For The Benefit Of Somebody Else Who Wants To Do Those Things. And That's Not Where Most Interviews Go At All, So To Me, They Seem Like Strange Exercises In Small Talk And Wasted Air.

I Do Not Want A Personal Relationship With My Fans. Or To Do Anything That Encourages Them To Think They Have One With Me. They Can Have A Personal Relationship With My Songs. That's Fine, But They Don't Know Me.

I Feel Much More Physically Connected To My Voice, And I Like The Physicality Of The Voice, And How The Voice Can Physically Occupy A Song.
