All the children of America, up to age seven or eight or nine or ten - they're really great artists. So here we've got this amazing work that very few people pay any attention to, and it's not valued by the culture.
I'm competitive with anyone who writes a good song - I don't care if it's a band or solo artist or whoever.
In America idea of freedom isn't actually about freedom. That's about power. The point of an artist is to find out what are the flavors that I must work with. Finding one's freedom is about surrendering to your helplessness.
There's this idea that artists are free and that means that we can do whatever we want to do. And it's very important to engage with this idea, just as human beings, that we are free to do what we wanna do. So the real question becomes, then, what do we wanna do? And as one gets to know oneself, one finds that there are things that return again and again that you wanna do.

We all agreed that philosophically, it was not OK, and ethically, it wasn't OK. We're going to take the word 'divert' totally out of our vocabulary.
Well, once we finish something, I can't really listen to it because all I hear are problems.
It's not that the emergency department couldn't take them in, it's that they couldn't get them out. If you don't have beds you can admit them to, you're really at gridlock.
