I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence.

I don't like what the radio plays for the most part.

You have to follow every melodic line, every emotional idea, or you don't get your money's worth.

I have to play as much of the game as I allow myself to get the music heard. But it's not unlike the rest of the world, so I'm not as up in arms about it as I could be.

I don't have the inclinations that other people seem to have as far as the business is concerned.

I don't like the idea of famous people.

If Americans thought music and art belonged together, they wouldn't have the Grammys.
