I'm the wrong kind of person to be really big and famous.

Certain songs just feel a way that's hard to put into words and it's not happy and it's also not really sad but I couldn't say what it is

People can be chaos but it's hard to fit it into some creative piece that you made. It's hard.

It was kind of ridiculous to carry it up to a certain point and then drop the ball or the bomb, like quitting the band right after we had signed to Virgin.

I got tired of doing battle with people thinking I was a little weird because I wasn't in a band making happy, stilted music. The only people who really seem weird to me are people who think they're normal. People who think it's possible to be normal just by doing the same things that most people do. Is there a most people? I don't know. Television makes it seem like there is, but I think that might just be television.

I think the music business will eventually crush me, but I [smiles]... I'm ready.

It's hard to represent chaos, or like an absence of something. It's much easier to represent the presence of something or a situation.
