Quote

And ultimately the people who produce my records, they know that they're here to serve the purpose of me expressing who I am at this period of time and augmenting that or pulling it forward and I love that process.

I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.

Some people make records that are defined by their sexuality, but mine really are not.

I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.

I don't mind my work being a record of the time it was written in.

Actually I was writing with people that didn't get records.

People are really set in their ways in how they produce records, and I was at least open enough to where I knew I wanted to do something totally different.

Sometimes you make a record that is what you want to hear. I've made a couple of those, idealized creations of what I wanted to hear. Then there are records that are what you feel.

I make records with an open mind, I always have.

As a songwriter, I'm not necessarily writing about myself or my life.
