Music is worth doing just because. It doesn’t have to be justified by some political point of view, and it’s kind of insulting to the music to make it a tool for something else.

I've been doing four-track songs by myself since I was like a teenager, where I'd sing in a way that I ... I just didn't think other people would like it, so I didn't play it for them but eventually I got over that, which I'm happy that I did, because it's kind of a drag to be playing a kind of music that you don't really like as much as another kind.

I want to keep making records as long as I can and that's the beginning and end of my concern about selling records.

Well, I try not to think about the general public since I have no idea what the general public is and I don't think anybody does.

My girlfriend at the time convinced me to send these songs to Cavity Search. When they wanted to put out my record I was totally shocked.

I was trying to do the same thing that I always do which is make an interesting record

People think they know all these things about other people, and if you ask them why they think they know that, it'd be hard for them to be convincing.
