That's one of those hazards of an interview: You get tired of your stock answer and you try to get creative and even play devil's advocate.

There are certain recordings where my voice sounds good to me. Singing live I really enjoy, but I don't know how good it sounds.

People who were really good at playing or singing seemed boring to me.

I could never settle down into a reggae band, that's too bizarre.

Sometimes songs need extra time and space to really play themselves out, and some songs it's like, this is all you need, a straightforward thing.

I don't listen to a ton of music other than putting my show together, just because my lifestyle isn't too conducive to listening to music all the time. I like to watch basketball, and I would rather not listen to music while I'm doing that.

If you know that someone is going to hear what you're doing, you're always going to be self-conscious about it. In a way that's good; it spurs you on.
