Even when I don't think I'm writing, I'm writing. There's some part of my brain geared toward making songs up, and I know it's collecting things and I know when I get a moment to be by myself, that's when they come out.

I think there's a curiosity that can make you feel anxious as to what the world's going to make of what you're doing. It's not necessarily what you're going to get back in terms of record reviews or how people talk about your record, it's getting on the road and playing the new songs live.

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.

You have to learn how to die if you wanna be alive.

I honestly don't remember the book well enough to register any surprise about anything. I don't remember anything being shocking to me.

I think the songs are more about relationships that are endless.

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.
