Beggars can't be choosers. We don't have all the money in the world. So anyone who wants to be in the band and be broke - that's their own death wish.

I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.

All these biopics and biographies and people gossiping about so-and-so's drug abuse or who's sleeping with who, it's just a bunch of nonsense.

Once biographical information contaminates your consciousness, it's impossible to erase it and look at someone's work the same way again.

I took piano lessons when I was a little kid, but even before that, you're singing in the classroom and wherever. Gosh, children are always singing. But I took music lessons, some choir and things like that at school. I learned how to play the guitar when I was about 13... ancient history.

Usually there's no specific reason for loneliness - it's a broad feeling.

I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.
