I like to push people till I get the truth out of them.

When I was 18 the vision was to make music that didn't exist, because everything else was so unsatisfactory.

I was picked on because I was timid. I had younger sisters; I couldn't turn to them for help. I didn't have an older brother.

It's just like music when you reckon it up. It's like, listening to Pavement, it's just the Fall in 1985, isn't it? They haven't got an original idea in their heads.

I don't want security guards. I don't think security guards are particularly good for your writing.

My earliest memory is learning to read 'Muffin the Mule' when I was about three.

If you're going to play it out of tune, then play it out of tune properly.
