When it's me in my living room, it's pretty pure, and then what gets recorded involves more people, and it keeps escalating from there.

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

I just don't fit into the box.

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

I remember even getting kicked out of a bar once because I was too loud and obnoxious.

All parents gush about what it's like to be a parent. I love it.

It seems to me like the Internet allows you to break that structure a little bit. You know, here's your CD that's going into stores, here's your EP that you offer online, here's a subscription for songs you recorded on the road, here's your live stuff streaming.
