My highest aspirations as a songwriter are that people would sing my songs or know songs I've written sometime in as far into the future as I feel comfortable seeing.

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.

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

Once you're an addict, you're always an addict, so just because I found something good to do doesn't mean I'm not going to hurt myself doing it.

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.

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

I don't know where people get the idea that every Wilco record is supposed to have drama. OK, I guess historically speaking we've had our fair share of ups and downs.
