It's not my fault that people are perverts.

I don't really write journals and stuff and then adapt them to music, it's completely within the form of the song. My great obsession and basically the bane of my existence is caring probably too much about every word, but it's too late to change my career path.

In my imaginary utopian world there would be a greater allegiance between music writers and musicians.

It's very hard to separate what is a conscious decision and what's not.

I love to read about music and about art, but I don't try and take things about mythology or guidelines as to how I'm to behave as an artist. It's the realm of intellectual debate. Actually, more and more my direction is trying to get further away from being self-conscious of what the parameters are of the mainstream, where it intersects with the underground.

Of course there are influences, of course there are things that are inspiring, but it's weird to think that I'm trying to keep a mental inventory of them and report them clearly to whomever might ask.

I like the idea of interviews where you just talk about stuff instead of where it's my chance to talk to my public through something else.
