I'd defend myself. But I don't go around shoving people around; that's not me at all - that's for a cop. I'm not into that type of behavior at all.

I guess I am famous in a way. I would rather consider it recognizable - I think that is more logical. I don't feel famous.

I thought I was gonna be in the minimum-wage working world all my life.

Entertainment's hard on the ego. I see why actors are so psycho now. Because there's so much 'we don't want you' going on in acting. Even big people get rejected but the smaller people - they really get rejected. Trust me - I know.

I've always seen it as the role of an artist to drag his inside out, give the audience all you've got. Writers, actors, singers, all good artists do the same. It isn't supposed to be easy.

I have built my life to pursue the new. I don't have family, don't know many people and I am usually ready to leave within an hour.

Castle Face Records, run by The Oh Sees main man, Johnny Dwyer is always worth checking in with.
