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

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

The band's filter, but playing live is a lot of fun.

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.

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.

Doing battle with themselves that way, every day, all the time and sometimes it sucks, but other times it results in people making sort of a dream comprehensible to someone else.

It's just that a lot of songs that are popular right now, they don't have any meaning
