I need the money. People don't understand how little money you make in a band.

I've got time, I hope, to make lots of quiet records. So quiet you won't be able to hear them.

I don't write down my experiences, but I have a very decent memory. I have tons of books in which I write down phrases as they occur to me. That's how I write songs. I'll need a line and I'll go through the books and find it, the right rhyme and everything.

I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again.

I lie around and play guitar, that's something I do for sure. In fact that's all I do, I think.

See, to me, rock'n'roll doesn't have any point. It's just fun. It has a million different angles and they're all valid. But I think rock might be a world issue.

For me, it's all about The Dubliners by James Joyce. I love The Dead.
