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

I've always just wanted to sing in a rock band.

I get really affected by songs as a music listener - they mean so much and they feel so significant.

I'm really lucky I'm still around. Everybody expected me to die next... But it was always someone else instead of me.

I used to be a hairdresser.

I'd like to thank myself, and congratulate myself, and give myself a big pat on the back.

I loved rap, especially in the early days. But I wasn't trying to shove it down anybody's throats.
