I try to drum each day. It's therapeutic.

It's really nice to have things to mail to people when they mail you things, or trade to people at shows. Something homemade, it feels... down to earth.

I hope to incorporate more variety of beats, more syncopation. It becomes very easy to play straight beats; straight rock is alluring.

I actually write a lot, but mostly just daily gibberish. I am a documentation addict: "I just peed. I walked down the hallway. I dropped my pencil. I just aged a minute."

It's painful to not be able to fully focus, but it keeps you fresh.

I feel that music is more flexible than language and your song, or "piece" is only as flexible as your least flexible component.

I am a musician before a writer, and a drawer before a writer. When I lose sight of that, which I do, my work tends to suffer.
