We do this for the art, not the adulation. I'd rather our music get liked and we get ignored. I don't want to be adored for anything other than the music.

I felt pressured by continuous touring.

You watch the country-music awards that they show on the television, and you see country music has reached about 1985. It's all huge processed drum sounds and chiming chorus guitars and programmed synths bobbling along in the background.

I've always liked the idea of improvised music. Improvised anything. It's what conversation is.

For a heart without love is a song with no words And a tune to which no one is listening So your heart must give love and you'll find that You shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening.

I'm really interested in bands that sound nothing like anything I do or can do. That's what interests me.

You may leave school, but it never leaves you.
