Music is the marriage of the feelings of the living to the wisdom of the dead.

The writing of the record didn't take long, because I just have a huge stack of papers and I just pluck from the stack. It took a long time because it's very expensive to make records; in fact, I think it's a complete rip-off.

I think it's worthwhile to expand your comfort level and just do something awful. I wasn't trying to make music for money.

It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.

If it's possible to have an enemy without making it personal or moral, then that's what I'm trying to do.

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.

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