I hate my voice. I've never been comfortable singing.

Thank god we don't know a lot about William Shakespeare or Moses or Homer or Lautréamont. These are the best guys we got, and their art is powerful because they're mysterious. Once biographical information contaminates your consciousness, it's impossible to erase it and look at someone's work the same way again.

I do like the word timeless. That's a great word.

This is rock'n'roll, not classical music. It's about people working together.

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

I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.

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