thinking details renewal
I think I prefer the constant renewal. It's almost like sandpapering down any details or any contour of familiarities.
people different tomorrow
Be alone even when there's a million people around, because tomorrow it will be a different million people.
simple roots pleasure
You just never set roots; you take pleasure in simple conversations, because you know you're not going to have much more than that. It's very isolating, and that can be a good thing.
variables environment adaptation
But that constant adjustment and adaptation to your new environment, all the variables are the same. There's always a promoter, there's always a rider, there's always a shower, and there's always a stage.
past years two
I haven't been living anywhere because I've been on tour for the past two years.
home rome years
I just went to Europe, spent a year traveling, and then I came home with a finished album and said, "Hey everyone I'm back!" I gave everyone their lighters from Luxembourg, gave them the postcards from Italy and Rome, then said, "Hey look, I made a record, too" and played it for them. The general reaction was shock, because it was so different from what they've known me to do.
grateful chance familiarity
I was grateful to be away from all that familiarity, to have a chance to do something anonymously.
thinking people isolation
I guess there are a lot of people out there that think they're supposed to define themselves in isolation, but that's not necessarily the case.
people watches photographer
For me, the best part is people who watch the movie and tell me it inspired them to collaborate with their friend who's a photographer or filmmaker.
special sound midnight
I really love watching the 70s live performance TV series "The Midnight Special" and "The Old Grey Whistle Test". Those are the best performances you've ever seen, and they sound incredible.
dvds feelings important
I've never been drawn to concert DVDs because they take away the part of the equation that's most important to seeing a live show: getting jostled around and feeling the energy in the room. I definitely didn't want to make one of those.
ties bows certain
There are certain parts of chords that resolve things and tie a bow, and others that keep things open and unanswered.
writing trying would-be
Because there's just so much in a day now, I keep writing in much more abstract terms, like I don't try to write about what happened anymore. It would be impossible.
fighting knows
I know more than I knew before I didn't rest I didn't stop Did we fight or did we talk.
