I like the model of people getting together to make something when they want to do it and not being dictated to by a cycle.

Oftentimes, when music is just blasting out it seems like it's overcompensating for something missing in the song's structure. When I think of the music that I listen to constantly, it's never like an assault.

If you push hard enough you can change. You can take everything you know and round it up, turn it into something else, and keep turning things into something else.

Even as a fan, as someone who's into his performances, the Stooges and his own stuff, Iggy [Pop] is one of the people who kept underlining something that a lot of my older musician friends with punk roots say: you get into this space in your life where you feel like a weirdo, you're marginalised, you don't fit in... and then you can get up on stage in front of people who probably hate you.

Touring is really a weird social experiment, even though everyone thinks it's a party every day.

Painting and animation can be kind of long work. Music was more immediate and more fun.

I've had terrible, terrible, terrible shows where I just thought, "That was off-key" or I forgot lines or I thought I looked like an idiot, and then you're leaving and talking to people, and they're like, "I had the best time of my life! That was amazing!" You just never know.
