With A Song, It Only Takes A

I Could Probably Live In Bali The Rest Of My Life And Completely Live In The Sticks And Have A F - King Moped And Make A Record Every Couple Of Years And Not Step In Public And Break Even Like I Do Anyway. That's Really Tempting.

I Look To An Out Gay Man Or Woman As Pretty Much What I Would Aspire To. The Strength That It Takes To Do That And The Floodgates That Open And What They Pay For It.

I'm Definitely An Anomaly, But I'm Making Things. They're Selling, Say, Martinis, And I'm Kind Of Making Vintage Riesling. People Aren't Going To Sit There Very Often, Not Your Average Public, And Your Average Music-business Monster Is Not Going To Take The Time To Notice The Overtones And The Undertones Inside The Flavor. They'd Rather Just Have The Martini.

I Start Songs All The Time. If I Weren't So Lazy, I Would Finish Them. It's Like When I Have A Deadline I Have To. I Always Feel Very Lucky That I Am Forced To Make Records At Certain Times. If I Was Forced To Make 2 Records A Year, I Would Write Twice As Many Songs. I Can't Make Myself Finish Something Unless I Am Forced

I Used To Do This Big Rant At The End Of Some Gigs With Ben Folds Five. The Band Broke Into This Big Heavy Metal Thing And I Started As A Joke To Scream In A Heavy Metal Falsetto. I Found Myself Saying Things Like: Feel My Pain, I Am White, Feel My Pain.
