I bought the rights to this book, 'The Ploughmen,' by a Montana writer named Kim Zupan, and I've written the screenplay, and I really feel pretty strong about it. It's really hauntingly beautiful. It's got some suspense and great drama, but it's a real character thing.

I don't make music to make money. I make music because that's what I like to do. You would think, "Yeah, of course, that's what an artist does," but there ain't too many artists around anymore.

Take what you can. I think the difference between that line of thinking and me is obvious.

The most embarrassing thing is when your words are misrepresented or sometimes you say something stupid and you live to regret it.
