I hate the way CDs just drone on for bloody hours and you stop caring.

W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you.

Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.

If something is good, you must torture it mercilessly until it is either dead or great.

I never wanted to write the sort of song that said, 'Look at how abnormal and crazy and out there I am, man!'
