Technology was something I avoided when I started out - I didn't even have electric guitars. Only played acoustic. But after a while, I realized that it's important to embrace things that are available in your time, and try to do something different with them.

In Japan, you get on the bullet train or the airplane, and I loved the little speeches the stewardesses would do. They even do little speeches before you play gigs.

I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.

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

I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder what makes music or culture or taste go in certain directions. Who knows what the forces are behind it.

Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn't even get a gig.
