Musicians and artists are not... it's not like politicians or something where you can't really affect them. There's not like this separate caste system where it's like, "I'm the musician, you're the audience. Never the two shall meet." It was a case where it was like, "Hey, you know what? I'm on your level, man."

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

I've been going through some personal things that have stirred up a lot of old wounds.

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

When money and fame happen too late, it's like pouring kerosene over a fire of self-loathing.

I don't leave my room, and all I am surrounded by are guitars and equipment, y'know? It's not always the best place to be.

I'm real critical of myself. I think a lot of what I've done is boring indie rock. I didn't intend it to be that way, but somehow milk gets added to everything.
