I am always writing; if you want to survive in this business, you need to keep working, keep creating and never stop the output.
From Rufus Wainwright
I was reared on folk music.
I definitely try to broaden the scope of music. I don't know if it's pop or classical or what, but I'm religiously challenging myself all the time, for better or for worse.
I wish I could just relax sometimes and make some money, but I always feel like I have to prove some kind of big, profound point.
I'm very much a romantic. I'm highly attuned to an older sensibility, which I believe is alive and well. We're not that far ahead of the Romantic Age in society.
Every video I do is over budget by the time I walk on set. I am massively extravagant in my personal habits.
I like to try new things.
The moment something happens to one you love, it's twenty times more intense. You experience pain and enlightenment on a much vaster scale.
I find so many songwriters today are missing an element... either the production is amazing but the songs aren't, or it's the other way around.
I should write a musical. That is probably one of the final areas that I should pay attention to, because it does kind of involve everything. It's got theatre, it's got young, pretty people... And it's got money!
