I think a sexual energy is a positive energy.

Certain audiences get the double meaning and some of the references and ironies, but there's definitely been shows where I feel like I'm not doing it well enough for it to come across as anything other than "oh, she's hot and she's dancing."

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

[When I happen to] read interviews where people are such pros and they come out looking so good, [it comes off as] a little smug or something.

I try not to focus on the gender issue too much but I think you have to acknowledge it in order for it to go away.

Generally I try to read anything but indie rock journalism or anything about music at all, especially in the summer.

I think that every band is different, and in fact that's one of the biggest problems with the old-school music industry is that... one band would be successful according to a certain approach, and then every other band in the label gets sent down the same tube.
