I've never had any kind of work ethic. I've never sat down with the intention of writing a song.

I always start with the lyrics, because starting with the music means the words will be bad.

I like playing music. I don't always like the feeling of people looking at me. I don't think I'm a natural performer, but I'm getting better.

I'm not that conscious of my writing, so pacing the lyrics doesn't really enter the picture.

I force myself to care about the music end by wrestling with it for years.

Kaputt was just a record that did really well for us, and therefore our record label and our booking agent said that we should go out and take our message to the world.

I think the more removed I feel, the more I warm up to the role of singer.
