In 2008 it's easy to get huge before you have an album out with the Internet. I think that's great and you see a lot of artists like that. It seems like it's becoming rarer to find a band that has been touring for six years, doing small shows and then breaking out.

You can write very obtuse and abstract lyrics, and if they want to, people are going to find something amazing that you're saying.

Nowadays when you buy music its like you're donating to that cause, because you most likely could hear it in some capacity for free.

The primary goal isn't a financial gain; it's to put out interesting music.

I can't edit live as meticulously as I can for an album.

I've always enjoyed taking pre-existing sound, songs I like, songs I want to share, and manipulating them and trying to do my own version. So just knowing there's that potential for that thing out there that I haven't discovered yet, really gets me motivated every day.

My music should fall under fair use because it's transformative, it's becoming its own entity, and it's not negatively impacting anyone's sales.
