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.

Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.

But I can't confront the doubts I have. I can't admit that maybe the past was bad, and so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death so it can match the past.

Something gets lost when you translate. It's hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing.

Save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they can never love anyone.

Everybody kind of understands, Oh yeah you take drugs and it does something to your brain and then you can't stop. It's easier to describe that shame, that horrible feeling of not being able to control your own life.

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