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.

I'm usually pretty happy. I don't ever really get disturbed in any way, or feel like I need to go back and change something.

I always think I don't have any songs, I don't have anything I'm working on, and I get in the studio and realize there are 20 things I'm thinking about. It's just kind of second nature.

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.

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

Anybody who'd expend energy preventing people from hearing music seems not to understand the basic principal of making music in the first place. It's so antithetical to being a musician.

Avant-garde is the one area of music that has never changed. It doesn't mean anything.
