There's an inherent thing in me where, if things are going too smooth, I'll sabotage the hell out of them, just to make the music more of a sanctuary.

You say that money isn't everything, well I'd like to see you live without it.

I never really paid attention to sales until the second record.

I wrote... Neon Ballroom in that time where I hated music, really everything about it, I hated it.

I'm lucky the arthritis happened at the time that it did because of the record.

I am doing everything humanly possible to try and get well, but lately things have just kept getting worse.

I made a conscious effort to make a record that would affect people in a good way rather than the last one, which affected people in a bad way.
