Well, all rock and roll is based in artifice.

Ultimately, running a band is about the relationships you have with people.

If I had spent fourteen months in a small room with Jesus, I'd want to fist fight with him.

People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.

Twenty-eight to 31 is the tough period. You have to be really careful because it's so cataclysmic, so life-altering. People do really dramatic things like get married, or they'll get divorced. Your chances of committing suicide go way up. It's basically psychic death. You see the signs of it around 27, and you're still on the out-end of it around 31. Everyone I've talked to who's gone through that and come out the other side walks out of it like, "MY LIFE IS GREAT".

Everything about life makes me lonely.

Every year that goes by, I lose that much more motivation to play rock.
