I enjoy recording live better, but I think by the nature of it you are going to end up with something that's a little bit more traditional.

Technology was something I avoided when I started out - I didn't even have electric guitars. Only played acoustic.

I think you have to keep a childlike quality to play music or make a record.

It gets a little bit troublesome when you have something that's overcompressed that shouldn't be.

I did that Grammys thing - I did a little freeform poem.

I didn't want to be on a major label. I wanted all the attention and the noise to go away because I wanted to be something a little bit more substantial.

There's some quality you get when you're not totally comfortable.
