I'm sure as I progress the sound may get cleaner but right now, I'm still interested in having it rough but never overwhelmingly so. I consider myself an amateur pop songwriter and I want that to come through, too.

I think the Internet shortens the distance between people, and that can often lead to inappropriateness.

It's very expensive to bring a band to New York.

I like the guitar better these days. I like the bass, too, but it's hard to fit a bass amp in a small car.

All of my favorite records have vocals high in the mix, even if it's music that wasn't necessarily mainstream.

Initially, I was very much concerned with having absolute control. But as time has gone by, I'm not. I mean, the whole first record was really just how I spent my free time: stoned and drinking coffee in my house, spending three hours on a song.
