I'm making music with my friends. It's fun. It should be fun. You shouldn't make music if it isn't fun.

This is a transitory world, we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it, and holding on. Even if it's a moment it's true love, true love doesn't mean that it goes on for eternity. Eternity is a terrible concept.

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

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.

I don't think music is my job - I don't think about it that way, because I don't really get paid. There's not paycheck at the end; it's more of a "whatever is left over" kind of situation. Also, it keeps me from thinking about my creativity as a business, which it is not. It should remain pure; that's one of the reasons I made music in the first place.

I just like writing lyrics. I find a little satisfaction in performing live, making records. But primarily, I just try to write every day.

Even if I'm writing music, it's with a lyric in mind, to communicate some kind of feeling.
