When a band first comes along, they should be confusing and doing something people don't accept. You don't want the first reaction to just be, "Oh, I get that."

A lot of people in the crowd want to be told what to do; if you just put your hands up, they do it.

I'll also listen to music on a Discman and realize how nice it can sound when it's not compressed to MP3 format.

In the recording process, sometimes people feel that there isn't a space for them to contribute.

I like the fact that everyone is nostalgic for vinyl, and I'm being nostalgic for CDs, which are like the new outdated things that no one is going to mourn the loss of - everyone's already written them off.

I've always found it interesting when I'm the person in the audience feeling mismatched by what I've seen or heard. The shows I've taken the most from I may have not liked while I was there listening to it but, maybe an hour later, there's suddenly a lightening bolt out of the blue: "Oh, I'd see them again."

You're trying to make music, and then at the end of it you give reasons for everything.
