Whenever I was with a woman, I always sort of want another one. So there was always another one. I can't explain this.
My songs are always on the tip of my tongue. It's always bubbling and brewing and about to come out. I can't really put it into words, but the best way to explain it is feeling like you constantly have some things on the tip of your tongue.
I wrote because I had to. I couldn't stop. There wasn't anything else I could do. If no one ever bought anything, anything I ever did, I'd still be writing. It's beyond a compulsion.
When something possesses me, I go ahead and do it.
I have been singing randomly, obsessively, obnoxiously for as long as I can remember.
Some cats, Iggy Pop, they're going to always have that hunger.
It's like there's this boldness that I have where I'm driven by something that I can't name.
Once you drink one glass, you want another.
An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.
It’s like eating peanuts. You just keep doing it and keep liking it.
We feel this passion that we have for music and this relentless need to pursue it and follow it and go wherever it takes. It's just something that's ingrained into us - it's ingrained in us so deeply that we say it's 'in our bones.'
I feel like a nuclear missile. Point me in that direction, I'll go.
You have the itch for writing born in you. It's quite incurable. What are you going to do with it?
