When people come to my shows they know there is a distinct beginning and end. It's difficult for me to play for much more than an hour, so people kind of come out and treat it like a rock show. They're fiending and ready to dance.

I wanted to make experimental music out of pop.

I guess people naturally try to find meaning in music.

That's something I've always been down with: creative commons and people being able to license their music and allow other people to reuse it and recycle it.

I'm interested in anyone cutting up music and doing remixes. I just don't think it would work in a live setting right now to do shows with a traditional DJ, but it's something that might happen eventually.

I listen to music constantly, and I'm always hearing things I love that I'm excited to use.

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.
