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.

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.

To me, Modest Mouse is one of the best bands ever. I actually wasn't surprised that they made it big. It's always weird to see it happen, and it happens so fast, all of a sudden songs are in the background on TV.

If people like electronic music, then great - let that be the next thing. I don't think I ever really will, but there's plenty of records for me to go buy.

For me, I'm more of a songwriter than a guitar player or singer. And not having things to work on was really kind of nice.

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.
