I find it very hard to accept the wonderful things in my life. My life really is great: I do exactly what I want to do for a living, I have a wonderful person to share my life with, I have a great family, I have great friends. But somehow there's a void. I'm the last person who should be complaining or wondering why I'm perpetually unhappy. I would like to think that my lack of contentment is part of what makes my work the way it is, and for the better.
I would rather make great records than make great relationships. When I'm at odds with myself, I would rather fuck up every relationship I've ever been in and write great records. And not because I need a breakup to provide me with material. Not like that.
