I'm interested in acting as much as I'm interested in gardening. I want to garden, eventually. I want to learn how to do a lot of things. I've always wanted to learn how to paint, too. I'd like to try everything, but music is my reason for living.

When I do a record, it sounds more punk and raw. Or it will sound louder, or it will sound more shocking. Or mind-boggling. I'll be trying to figure it out, but once I've got it figured out I'll be like, I know this; I know where this came from. I think art is most interesting when the intention is not clear.

I don't know if I have any real aspirations to be an actor. It was just something I was asked to do in sort of a friend way. And I thought, Why not?

All music is devotional, whether it's devotion to products, face washes, creams, plastic. Everybody is devoted to something.

I'm a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people.

The Internet nowadays is all sensationalism, and it's just terrifying when you're actually experiencing it as a person.

I collaborate a little bit with different aspects of my own mind. I kick my own ass instead of kicking other people's asses.
