Everything alive must die. Every building built to the sky will fall. Don't try to tell me my everlasting love is a lie.

For the most part I stand by all of records. I just always like the one I've done most recently the best and I think that's the whole point.

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

It's rooted in things that maybe older people or people my age remember as being rock music. But at the same time, I don't think we're stuck in the past or retro. I think we've tried to push ourselves and experiment with what we can call Wilco music.

I'm very, very suspicious of anybody that finds a belief system that they feel can explain it all, for themselves or for anybody else.

The sublime moment seems to be only a product of allowing yourself to get through, to get to a lot of stuff in your life, write about a lot of stuff and not edit yourself. That is a great lesson to learn for anybody that writes or creates in anyway, to be able to make something without being good or bad.

Internet is radio for a lot of people. It's a place to get music and hear music, and no amount of clamping down will change that.
