I want to make something that's fun to listen to but still challenging and unique.

I hear something I like, and sometimes, I think it's gonna work, and I will cut it up, try it out, try to work with other material. Sometimes, it falls flat, and other times, it works out, so in that way, I'm constantly listening to music because I enjoy it.

I typically get around to most major cities at least once a year. I think people see that as their chance to go nuts for the year if they're into the style of music.

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.

People see me on stage and sometimes they think, "Who's this hotdog thinking that he's the best." They miss the point that what I'm doing now comes from a whole different world of doing it for no one with nobody caring.

It's hard to play a laptop in the midst of band and have people want to buy your t-shirts and CD's.

I can't wait to wake up in the morning and listen to music in order to try to find something to work with.
