They have bad taste. I am not a good-looking guy.

It would be great to do a rock opera, but using more low-fi technology. I love shitty-sounding records.

I never thought being obnoxious would get me where I am today.

The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids.

Songs are like a form of chaos that you can control. It's a form of intelligence that maybe you only understand and you hope that someone else can understand. And you can be anyone you want: you can be as grandiose as you want or you can be as down in the gutter as you want. It's just sort of whatever emotional freeway you're on at the time.

I'm always a work in progress.

It's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.
