Things are changing at such a rate that you really can't get too familiar with anything that you own in relation to what sort of functionality it has in your life.

Because anybody can find their fan base through the Internet, it opens opportunities up for talented people along with people like Rebecca Black. It makes you more choosy and also more receptive to absorb anything for 15 seconds - let alone 15 minutes - to decide what you think about it.

I subscribe to the idea that personality is like a muscle, and sometimes you have to let it go limp and detach yourself from any associations.

I can't pretend that I don't subscribe to Internet music culture in that I discover new music and old music simultaneously.

Is my music indicative of a caffeine-surged green liquid? Probably not.

There's a very distinct difference between a really wonderful DIY label and a soft drink company, or a car company, or a clothing brand, and you will always understand that difference.

I think it's more about trying to just focus exclusively on writing music and making that a viable, sustainable lifestyle. It's difficult because it forces you to really get creative.
