The truth is an anti-war statement in itself.

The most interesting place by far was Afghanistan. Just because it is a place that I cannot see myself living. The hardness of the people and the history of the country is just so completely intense.

The more you own, the more it owns you.

In my many trips to South Africa, I have met and spoken to a lot of people there, and they all seem to find apartheid as repellent as you would.

I'm a big fan of the American Tapes label. But that's very hard to keep a grip on that because you blink your eyes and they've released three records, all of which are limited edition, all sold at one show. So you have to follow in drips and drops on eBay, which I do.

The tasks I set out for myself are what I do to beat the perfect pointlessness of life.

One person's roar is another's whine, just as one person's music is another's unendurable noise.
