The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much.

There are only a few places that I go where people recognize me anyway. I have to be at the right place, in the right city. It's not really that much of an issue.

Usually, old ladies tell me to find Jesus. Look, I'm just trying to find some chai and a good vegan muffin.

One time I was singing along with a boy that looked like me in the crowd and he pushed away the mic and started making out with me and accidently bit my lip and I had to get stitches.

I don't really like to infuse music with politics - but I wouldn't say as a general statement that it shouldn't be.

Personally I have never found the practice of recreational drug use appealing. In fact, I have always found the lifestyle and the people who surround it to be abhorrent.

As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it, let it hold you until they come. I truly hope you enjoy the new record.
