I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.

I've always littered my songs with jokes. You might need to dig a little deeper to find the humor, but I would totally object to being some kind of distraught personality. I've never tried to attach myself to that.

I don't care much about politics. That kind of witchcraft I stay away from because people end up dead. I'd rather die for music.

As long as there are a few people there, I can lose myself, which is the ultimate goal. And that's happening more and more; the non-musical world is becoming less and less interesting to me.

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 don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.

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