Make sure your heart is singing right until the day it stops.

I'm not a pop song lyric writer. I can't just focus on one simple meaning or even a double entendre.

I'd like to just get to a point where maybe we can say something that will be matterful. That's definitely not a word, by the way.

I always want to make Strokes records and play Strokes shows.

I feel like I've given up a lot of my fantasies. I just want to do things differently, and to a lot of people that's annoying. I like weird stuff. I always hoped if we had a big success it would be on our own terms.

It's like an inner struggle for me, between saying I don't give a **** and trying to make it work. You want to do the right thing, but I'm sick of people thinking I'm difficult.
