Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.

It was supposed to be gross, and now it's gorgeous.

I was ready to quit music. It felt to me like music equalled death.

And later, if I ever felt that I was getting swept away by the craziness of being in a band, well, I'd go back to Virginia.

Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it's always going to be there.

I don't want to say that most rock bands live these formulaic biography existences - but they kinda do. There's always a divorce. There's always an OD. There's always a bad business manager.

A lot of the records you buy, there's nothing you can hold in your hand, it's all 1′s and 0′s, this digital cloud floating in the ether, but with analog albums, you can hold it in your hand.
