I envisioned all these people who had been admired for having been freaks in their own time, and I saw myself in line with them.

That's really what keeps me playing live - appreciation. And I guess I've made a lot of wiggle room for myself to try different things and discover what I'm doing, and the audience accepts it.

I dont think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.

I think about music in the way that I heard music as a kid - like, Oh my god, there's this weird rubbery ball of undulating things.

I've learned that I shouldn't shrink from success. Though honestly I thought they'd be knocking on my door years ago.

I always want to be a member in the audience, and I want to hear it from their point of view and see it from their point of view so I can know if it's good. But that's just my issues, not a real problem.
