I used to do this big rant at the end of some gigs with Ben Folds Five. The band broke into this big heavy metal thing and I started as a joke to scream in a heavy metal falsetto. I found myself saying things like: Feel my pain, I am white, feel my pain.

White people don't sing together very often, and when they do, it's about the celebrity of the song. The singing at my shows is all about harmony.

I do have that mindset - that most good art comes from some turmoil, from someone trying to come to some equilibrium, or come up and get a breath.

The clock never stops, never stops, never waits. We're growing old. It's getting late.

I'm older than I was, and I'm still washed-up, and I haven't changed my music one iota. It's just much easier to do this when people are being nice to you.

Im really good at writing almost hits.

I feel like a quote out of context.
