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 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.

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.

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

It's made me cynical at a young age to see how overlooked certain groups I've admired are.

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

I've got this thing where I always kind of diss the older stuff and favor the newer stuff. I mean, it's not just my thing; every artist or musician is like that, I guess.
