I would love to do an electronic record. There's just so much to see and do and try. And life goes by.

Sometimes, reissues can be revelatory, or put the original record in a different light, but those are rare.

I think trying to be offbeat is the most boring thing possible.

It's so easy to criticize your own time, and I see that as a problem, even for myself, as a listener.

I know my own limitations. And if somebody says, "I need songs for a cartoon garage band - they look like this and they should sound like this," it gives you a direction. I like having that kind of assignment.

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.

I'm more critical of my songwriting than anybody, but I've worked really hard in the last five to 10 years to improve.
