I think that providing obstructions in the live setting is when you get something that actually means something, as opposed to just aping your way through your greatest hits.

Funny is a good foil. Humor is illuminating, and it also gives you power.

Love is just an institution.

I guess with the way that I've conducted myself I'm in the logical spot and I'm fine with that. Even my limited interactions with success have left me confused and bummed out, so I don't think the two can co-exist.

If my peers had a significant impact on my music, my music would probably be a lot more popular.

Christian music was music that I grew up listening to that I can't say has had much of an impact on anything I have done in my adult life. Maybe Christianity has, but certainly not the bullshit Christian music I was listening to when I was 12. To me there's not much substance in that music. I don't have a message or anything.

I like the freedom of being able to just use the live show as an opportunity to more so deconstruct what's going on in the album than to recreate it.
