When you're an artist, nobody ever tells you or hits you with the magic wand of legitimacy. You have to hit your own head with your own handmade wand. And you feel stupid doing it.

The cool thing too, as you get older, you get way better at identifying who's an ally and who isn't. And who has good, positive, "let's make all this sh*t better and let's try to have fun and fix sh*t" people as opposed to "let's sit around and b*tch and berate" people.

It would nice to live in a world where art can just be art!

The stage show is, in some sense, highly theatrical. It's definitely not just a band in jeans playing rock and roll.

I think it's so important to have a practice, because the consciousness isn't perfection or enlightenment or any of that bullshit. The consciousness is, "Oh, I'm walking down the street and I'm doing nothing."

If you want the world to pay for projects, you have to be able to display why you're worthy.

I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound.
