There's always that argument to make - that you're in better company historically if people don't understand what you're doing.

I didn't think I was gonna be playing on the Oscars or anything.

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.

If I seem to be reckless with myself,It's the fault of no one.All things have a placeUnder the moon as well as the sun.

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'm just writing songs about how I feel or about how people I know feel.

People are so... seem so chaotic internally, but being filtered through some form, like making a record, sort of filters it down into something that can be understood.
