One thing I do find in the "lost" generation or something is a kind of abhorrence of history, you know, like it's boring, dumb, or just not interesting. I think it's terribly interesting if you can get your head around how it relates to where you're standing right here and now.

My music doesn't really sound like punk music, it's acoustic. And it doesn't really sound like folk music 'cause I'm thrashing too hard and emoting a little too much for the sort of introspective, respectful, sort-of folk genre thing. I'm really into punk and folk as music that comes out of communities and is very genuine and very immediate and not commercial.

If you don't ask the right question, every answer seems wrong -

Don't treat me like I am something that happened to you.

I am getting nowhere with you and I can't let you go and I cant get through.

It's not important to be defined, it's only important to use your time well.

First decide what you got to do, then go out and do it. All we can do is to see each other through it.
