No race or civilization of people are just going to say, "Oh, instead of using real meat, let's just mash up a bunch of lymph nodes and put a bunch of weird stuff in it and pack it up in plastic cans and plastic bins, and let's eat that way. That'll be great." People don't choose that.

I've been playing one way or another since I was about three years old. I don't remember not knowing how to play any instruments.

There's this food that's evolved over thousands of years and people have made their own kind of thing, but it's not art-food, yet. It can be, but it's just food. It's the thing that people do because they have to, because they need it. I feel music is one of those things, too.

For a while, it was something to try to push at people, playing old murder ballads and being upset about everything I was seeing around me. But now I feel a lot more at peace with it.

I think people like feeling miserable just as much as they like feeling happy.

Real music is what I consider to be uncorporatized music, the music that just happens. I feel like that's not a very well-known thing.

Essentially any history we have is just a history of aristocrats. We don't have any history of people.
