Everyone's just extracting meaning and feeling and emotion from almost every aspect of music, and I think that for me, it's a huge antidote to that to have a concept album.

I don't envy anybody trying to start a career right. There really is no music business left, in a lot of ways.

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

I might be stupid to think love is love, but I do.

For me, there's a fine line between telling a story that's fictional with lots of details and then removing yourself too much from it, so it's bloodless, a little too fictional.

If your standards are low, you're going to stop pretty early on in the process.

You know what, the drummer is my manager. He's busy. And I'm busy. I don't need the dough, though. But having said that, there's a limit to how much bad music I wanna play. I did it when I was young, and some of the music was OK, but it wasn't great.
