Art is the image of life, it's purpose simply to enhance it.

I'm happy to feed the illusion that I'm a lazy recluse.

No matter who I'm talking to, I always talk like I'm doing an interview.

Whenever I go to shows, I end up looking at what shoes the guy onstage is wearing and the jacket he's got on. And when you know everything's gonna be under scrutiny, it makes you feel more comfortable if you have cool stuff.

If the choice is between doing something supercool and having no one hear it and doing something equally cool and tricking people into putting it on the radio, I don't think the second option is some big sellout.

L.A.'s kind of, like, seven really cool towns. It's so laid-back. If you go in the right spot, you can walk around, and you don't need a car.

Can our mind evolve to be something other than an extension of our animal needs?
