You should never leave something with a feeling of defeat.

You're not going out there to make a living out of it by selling records. You want acclaim and you want to know people are listening.

The new solo album sounds like me: I'm singing about bad business transactions, bodily fluids, and courage.

It's very hard for me to say "Do I have favorite?" because I find that each song represents a different sounds different emotions in Andy's [Kim] life. Particularly "Sister OK", 'cos that started everything.

As an artist, expectations are basically your enemy. If you're truly making something to make it, then you're not thinking about anything else except what you're making.

Rules are what governs us as humans, but it was wonderful to meet a man who said "There are no rules. You gotta be what you gotta be and you gotta believe in it." I know that's a feeling I used to feel a lot at a younger age, and through the sense of responsibility and working with so many and taking on so many duties and actions, you lose if you don't stay on top of it. So that's what I love about this man, that there are no rules.

Everybody has their own ways of wanting to do things.
