Knowing record labels and knowing the kinds of things they would object to-they just object to everything that's interesting.

I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.

When things are really great, it just means everything's in it's place.

It's funny, because my last record was a lot about isolation and people living in separate worlds that other people can't even understand, which drug addiction is the perfect negative example of.

At a major label you can start to feel that you're working for them, and that any work you do, you're never going to see any benefit.

Better take the keys and drive forever. Staying won't put these futures back together. All the perfect drugs and superheroes wouldn't be enough to bring me back to zero.

It's more important for me to have a good record with good music and be part of a movie that's good and where the music is used in a really great way. That's the important thing. The other stuff you want to say about it, I don't care.
