I don't listen to recordings of my songs. I don't avoid it, I just don't go out of my way to do it.

I actually spend very little time listening to any new music.

I don't like to listen to music while I'm working.

I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.

But I never listen to music while I'm writing.

I don't really listen to much music.

I've got a very short attention span, and this has been part of the reason I'm so kind of dumbfounded at the fact that I've still stayed with music. Nothing has ever stuck for me, and music's the only thing that's managed to stick out for a long period of time.

I suppose that by being absent from the music business, it appeared that I just dropped out, but really I never did. I was continuously working and doing various things.

I never feel like I have to hang on to the music. I don't expect that the music will go away. Ideas are the only thing I can point to that are permanent and fixed.
