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.

Ten years is a pretty good run for anything.

Most of the bands that I really like no longer exist. That might just be because I'm in my thirties or whatever. But I also think it's the rare band that doesn't, like, turn into something else.

There are a lot of spikes that can happen when what you're doing starts to get attention or people start to talk about it. They can just kind of really do a number on your reasons for making music.

I don't want my reasons to be informed by what people think about what I'm doing.

The feeling of being halfway through a show and just realizing that there's nothing you can do to save it - it's a horrible feeling.

I want to be around these positive, expressive people who are doing something different and who also want to get the hell out of there and don't want to be around basic human bullshit.
