I have always thought it was important to maintain some connection for myself to what it takes to make a song work by myself, to put a song across to an audience by myself.

I am an American aquarium drinker.

I don't like being in public with headphones on. I don't know how people can do it. It seems like you're so cut off from your environment. I feel like I'd get hit by a car.

Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator.

When I did do good stuff in the past, it was because I was able to transcend the parts of my being that weren't healthy.

What you once were isn't what you want to be anymore.

I still love poetic imagery. I love the idea of using surrealist speak to generate lyrical content and I love the way English can be exciting in and of itself.
