I'm Not A Misogynist, So You Can

When I’m Singing “deanna,” For Example, Which I Sing Pretty Much Every Night, It Brings Forward A Kind Of Imagined, Romanticized Lie About This Particular Person, Which I Find Really Comforting And Exciting To Sing About.

I've Spent My Life Butting My Head Against Other People's Lack Of Imagination.

I Don't Particularly Believe All Love Is Doomed. But I Guess, One Is Usually Kinda Suffering From Some Aborted Love Affair Or Association, Rather Than Being At The Peak Of One. I Think It's Fairly Obvious That A Lot More Suffering Goes On In The Name Of Love Than The Little Happiness You Can Squeeze Out Of It.

I've Had To Try And Find A Way Over The Years Of Writing Narratively That Doesn't Really Require You To Sit Down And Work Out What The Story's About. You're Brought Into A Sort Of Sequence Of Images That Have That Emotional Resonance, But It's Kind Of Irrelevant What The Actual Story Is. It's Taken Me Maybe 13 Albums Or Something To Work That Out.

I'm A Kind Of Hard-wired Pessimist. I Can't Help But See The World In A Certain Kind Of Way.
