That's my dream job, to be able to mail songs out to people who want to hear them. Paste my face on them and not travel all over the world trying to sell them.

If you're the band leader you ask more of yourself than anyone else, so they tend to raise the bar for me.

I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.

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

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 have the inclinations that other people seem to have as far as the business is concerned.

Now I know I'll never be numb again. A mother is condemned to feel everything forever. And I'm finally afraid, condemned to fear everything forever. But that makes sense: feel someone else's pain, feel someone else's everything.And he's my baby, so everything's okay.
