I actually do see rock and roll as pop music. I think the distinction I was making was that I was going out of my way to have a very consistent approach to production, where nothing kind of punctures the reality - or, I guess, the fake reality - of the album and what you're listening to from beginning to end.

I was born in 1972, which means that in "rock" terms I have no business addressing "the kids" unless it's to shoo them out of my garden.

I'm just kind of lazy and messed up and self-managed - self-mismanaged.

Most musicians don't write about being a musician cause most musicians aren't writers.

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

I used to struggle a little bit with the idea of how to separate singing from acting and entertaining.
