You wind up listening to one song that you really like 30 times on YouTube and then you're done with it. That's the way it is.

I buy magazines. I'm not floating around in my own universe. I'm interested in everything.

As I get older, I realize a lot of the things I could have done - things that I didn't think were so great at the time - actually would have been enjoyable.

A lot of people at my school could play the "Stairway to Heaven" guitar solo, but they couldn't play three chords of a Ramones song if their life depended on it because they didn't have the strength or ability to do it. But all I did was practice that, and the style that I eventually fell into is more focused than people would actually imagine.

Musically, I just think in terms of what's next. There's a lot of things I've always dreamed of doing, and I hope I get to them before I get too deaf.

In reality, there's a limit to putting a record out yourself. When it comes to working with major record companies in the context of them owning anything, though, that will never happen. Ever. In my life.
