It's very heartening to see people who I used to do music with still doing it.

I have music in my head; I can't help it. You can put a gun to my head and it's not going to go away. The privilege is that I'm not being prevented from following that.

My projects are just side effects of what I obsess over, what I chat about, what random things pop into my head, what I dream at night.

I guess a lot of bands play around until they come up with something they like.

When it's time to write a new song, anything that you thought you understood last time is pretty much pulverized.

Usually if someone starts making universal claims, I tune right on out.

There's part of me that feels a privilege not to do music, but to do what everybody should be allowed to do, which is to do what you're driven to do.
