"I do have a romantic interest in outlasting everybody else. There's a sort of sad machismo to singer-songwriters, I think."

Sweetness is the opposite of machismo, which is everywhere-and I really don't get on with machismo. I'm interested in sensitivity, and weakness, and fear, and anxiety, because I think that, at the end of the day, behind our masks, that's what we are.
