It was like I was asking for attention, but I didn't really want attention.

Unlike the rest of everyone I hang around with, I don't drink, so I remember what happened after shows. And I have never hit on anyone after a show, I'm not that kind of person. Even if I was attracted to someone, I'd be too shy.

I don't think it will ever be lessened. Because I always move on to something else - and the music that I listen to, that I ingest, is a lot different than what I put out. I'm always becoming obsessed with the next phase of my musical vocabulary.

I don't have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it's really awful.

I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.

I've been used for writing rhythm guitar chords for a long time because it's so easy to play and chords just sound good on it.

Usually I'm not really conscious of what's going on. I don't have a lot of memories onstage. At all.
