People say 'I don't want to die alone!' But you know what, honestly? I don't want to die with a bunch of people looking at me.

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

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.

Sometimes, I do have something to say, so I'll sit there and I'll write a song to someone - and then I just throw it away because it makes me cringe.

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.

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

I'm tired of watching attractive people trying to be ugly, struggling for authenticity. Why not be yourself?
