I was thinking that people have to believe you're crazy in order to take you seriously as an artist.

I've had nightmares about having to kick people out of my band because they've said that they don't like the Beatles. I'd wake up and turn to them and say, "You like the Beatles, right?"

What affected me the most about the Beatles was that they were the biggest band in the world and they could have done anything they wanted.

All I do is listen to music. It's a weird thing. It's like I have so much catching up to do. I've always been over my head. That's just the way I work best, you know. Like when you're studying for school you think, "I can only study when I have to study the night before." That kind of means you're lazy or you're a procrastinator, but for me with music it's a similar thing. It's like I've been over my head for most of my career so to speak.

Even with artists I love, only about a third of their music is what really hits the sweet spot for me.
