See who else is interested and join other people's projects that have already started that you like. You don't always have to reinvent the wheel and start your own thing.

I am such a bossy producer and such a control freak that there's a part of me that really longs to be bossed around.

I like loud snare, and I like really treble-y guitars, and that's just never going to change.

The idea that musicians/artists have a responsibility to be community leaders or "role models" is problematic to me because I really believe that some of the most exciting art is not community-minded at least in any obvious or direct way, which is not to say that it is not ethical or consciousness-changing.

I stood in the bay window at our house and I sang Away In A Manger. It was my first time on stage, but there was nobody watching. I just remember it was so natural and it was such a secret - like masturbating. I felt like I had to wait until everybody was gone. So I guess six years old would be my most important age, 'cause in that moment, I just knew what I wanted to do.

It's the idea that we as people can control our own destinies. The government and the corporations, more even than the government, can't dictate what artwork we're supposed to like or what comedy we're supposed to laugh at.

I wanna be a legend; I wanna be a cult hero. I do!
