I've been going through a lot of... stuff. I need some space, which people were very kind enough to give me, and I feel really gracious about that. Nobody forces me to do things or say things or do interviews.

Talk to Arto Lindsay and I'm sure he's tired of people asking him about DNA; he's probably really into what he's doing now, which is good stuff. I guess I probably feel like that. But I'm obviously not comparing myself to someone as iconic as that.

You read about that Black Lips/Wavves fight as a spectator and you're like, "Oh man, I'm gonna pick a team to be on! I'm gonna put my two cents in as my status update on my Facebook page" or something. Not to sound like an anti-technology person, but it's just a real drag that people live their lives that way.

Everything I do is 100% automation, which means I'm just doing it live.

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

I have really low self-esteem, and it's not easy for me to put myself on an album cover.

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