I just feel like making things solar-powered and wind-powered should be as easy as using an iPad.

I feel the 21st century is another new age. Not only can we collaborate again with nature, but we have to. It's an emergency.

I do try and wear stuff by unknown designers, and I make sure I pay because if nothing else I have money.

I don't like records that are the same from beginning to end, that are too styled and slick. Everything is so designed and airbrushed and Botoxed, it makes us think, 'Oh, everybody's perfect except me. Everything's smooth except me.' But nothing is smooth.

I've always appreciated working with people I have chemistry with, who are friends, and where you feel that the work is growing while you are getting to know each other better.

Sometimes when I write lyrics there are images in them, usually on a quite simplistic level, like colors. But most often music comes first and then later I sit down with visual people and we chat about what we want to do. I don't look at myself as a visual artist. I make music.

All we had ever heard about record company people is that they were vampires and criminals...and they killed Elvis Presley.
