I do love the ceremony of putting on a record but I don't have space for a vinyl collection.

I'm a bit of a vagabond - a person who loses time and space because you don't know where you are.

Putting your ego aside and confronting your weaknesses and just letting things happen is hard. Not to use a Scientology term, but it's difficult to do an emotional or an artistic audit.

I think anything that you can't poke fun at is a little too precious.

For a brief moment, I considered deconstructing the song and going down a cerebral road, but then I realized it would kill what is most powerful about it.

I don't even wanna say female guitar-players, just guitar-players, because music of all things doesn't need to be gendered and stratified, that's so boring.

I have a lot of guitar heroes I guess, some of them are female and some of them are male. Robert Fripp is one of them, and Marc Ribot, that's another guitar hero.

I have the weirdest job. It's not every day that you get to stand up onstage and unload every ounce of your misanthropic bile onto a crowd of people, and they're like, "Cool! Hit us again!"

I wouldn't say I'm a very technical [guitar] player. I'm more intuitive - it's always more about chasing an abstraction.

All these things that we are very nostalgic for come from a place of technology dictating [art]. This time and place is no different.

An mp3 is a compressed form of data. It's not the full spectrum. It's never going to sound as good as a record.

Life consists of what man is thinking about all day.

I want him and even if it's frightening, even if I may not be completely ready for a relationship, I want him. Now... And tomorrow, and all the following days.

Neither current events nor history show that the majority rule, or ever did rule.

The resistance of a woman is not always a proof of her virtue, but more frequently of her experience.

I must say one thing about southern down-home brewed coffee with chicory. If you have worms, you'll never have them again.

In the house, and on the street, how many, many feet you meet.

Man was not intended by nature to live in communities and be civilized.

Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys are simply the best band that ever was.

Those who would judge us merely by the heights we have achieved would do well to remember the depths from which we started.

I'm interested to see where a combination of faith and science will take me.
