I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.

I always give the encore over to chaos, so people can yell out requests and I can hack my way through a song that I don't really know anymore.

When I was young, I used to need other people's albums and I got very involved with their music and it meant a lot to me.

I don't know; it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.

I mean, I kind of remember... I'm 36 now, so it's kind of hard for me to relate to what it was like when I was 25, or 24, but I do remember a period in time when that's how I defined who I was, by the music I listened to and the movies I went to.

I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.

I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.
