Like many start-up stories, mine has been rocky.
Everybody wants to be a starter, and I feel like I'm a starter in this league, but I can't necessarily control that.
I feel like in a way I'm starting over, with everything.
Each project, I suffer like I'm starting over again in life. There's a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff.
So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.
I put out an album once every four or five years and it's kind of like starting over every time.
With the solo stuff, it's like starting over from scratch. It's rolling up your sleeves and getting down to work.

I like touring, and I like stopping off at service stations and driving along motorways.
You want to leave something; you really do. I mean, in the end, statues and all those things, that doesn't mean anything. Leave something that we're all going to benefit from. I think that's what I'd like to do.
Presenting statues of honor to reporters for covering an earthquake is like presenting a first prize to a doctor for performing surgery.
In my view, statutory ambiguities are less like dandelions on an unmowed lawn than they are like manufacturing defects in a modern automobile: they happen, but they are pretty rare, given the number of parts involved.
I tried being a stay-at-home mom for eight weeks. I like the stay-at-home part. Not too crazy about the mom aspect.
