What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?

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

I want to satisfy the listener, exactly. I want to entertain the audience. I want the people to leave the show with the feeling I used to leave shows with when I was young, and I couldn't get over it for another three or four days after it. I just kept reliving the set in my mind.

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

As a homosexual, my job is simply to sodomize mediocrity.

I used to be a lot more engaged on an improvisational level than other people. I was always on tour and always had a guitar in my hands, and when I went back home, my battery was at full charge. I had a lot of energy to get off, just impulses that I could draw upon.

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