In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.

If I have resistance to something, it means there's something wrong. The resistance to me is a sign of fear.

We're the worst band in America... That makes us the best.

I'm attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I'm sick of that.

I've always believed that we could reach past genre -- we didn't ride the grunge coat-tails; we've always been on our terms.

Thinking about the future and thinking about the past is really only a way of ignoring the present.

Indie world won't have me, and mainstream world treats me like an alien, but here I am still floating between these two worlds.
