“When all of this music sounds like you know what you want to say, then it will have been of all worth, ever. You will be something complete unto yourself, present and unique.”

“I want to be ripped apart by music. I want it to be something that feeds and replenishes, or that totally sucks the life out of you. I want to be dashed against the rocks.”

“I have no advice for anybody; except to, you know, be awake enough to see where you are at any given time, and how that is beautiful, and has poetry inside. Even places you hate.”

“So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return?Oh, will I ever learn?Oh, Lover, you should've come overCause it's not too late.”

“my kingdom for a kiss upon your shoulder"lover you should have come over-”

“There is no good singing, there is only present and absent.”

“Words are beautiful but restricted. They're very masculine, with a compact frame. But voice is over the dark, the place where there's nothing to hang on: it comes from a part of yourself that simply knows, expresses itself, and is.”
