I'm not really a strange person or anything, so if there's music I like, usually there's other people who like it too.

I start songs all the time. If I weren't so lazy, I would finish them. It's like when I have a deadline I have to. I always feel very lucky that I am forced to make records at certain times. If I was forced to make 2 records a year, I would write twice as many songs. I can't make myself finish something unless I am forced

It's like being in the position of - in half of the industry's mind, you're kind of a cult-following, independent rocker. And on the other hand, you're a sellout. But neither one of them are right.

The nature of honesty is that if someone has information or knows something about you that you don't want heard, then they have power over you.

I want people to listen to my lyrics and be okay with themselves. The people who have it the roughest are homosexuals who come out of the closet.

I've gotten to the point where I realize that I need to tell my truth in music and not walk around blabbing my mind.

I'm aware that I'm very fringe, and it's nice that way.
