I like to make the music that I really love. You're supposed to make your favorite music that no one else played, and I'd like to just keep it at that and not really change it at all.

I break my back for music because it's something that I love, but I'm not going to break my back for a bank. I wouldn't want to be an ATM repairman; there are some things that just aren't worth it.

I've always heard music in my head since I was a little kid, so I've always played towards that. If I felt bad, that's what I did.

You got to risk something to be able to give something, you know?

I've always considered myself a workaholic... The way I work, I have to turn myself upside down and hang myself by my ankles and wring myself out like a wet sweater, and I have to do that with other people, too, because I think that's where something good comes out.

If you're trying to do something different, you can't ask someone to help, because they'll want to make it not different.

I hate that sense of entitlement or the sense of business crawling into playing music.
