I want the material I make to be mine; that's always the goal of the record and of the show.

I always like to borrow bits and pieces of things. There's a line between jumping on something that's happening and incorporating bits and pieces of it into my work.

I make a living off of playing shows; the albums only make me a fraction of what I make off of shows, especially since I'm doing around 100 shows a year.

It's rare when I feel like I can extract a lyrical message out of combining two things together.

I think there's always room to grow.

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

It's hard enough to get things to work in a musical way.
