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

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.

It's really hard for me to capture this certain way of singing that sounds good to me. I don't really understand it, but hopefully some day I'll figure it out.

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.
