Labels want to capture a certain market of kids and blah blah blah, and it's true, I just never think about that stuff. It's all part of a chain that's moving along, but this phase of music has to switch.

People don't seem to care about convictions any more. When I was a teenager, the deal was that, y'know, you had a band that you were really loyal towards, almost to a fault, and you stayed really loyal to that band. That was the whole thing, that was such a big deal.

You like some things, you don't like others. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the others, it just means you have an opinion.

When I go on and listen to the stuff on the websites, I can't tell, it all sounds like the same band, like they should all be in one band together.

Some people seem so different, some people feel so much more than other people, some people are able to push past things so much easier. And...it's just fascinating to me.

Nobody ever cares what I say! I feel badly about it, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

The reason I could last for that long a period of being up was because the piece accidentally caught the excitement and adrenaline from, "Ooh this sounds different from usual... Ooh I like that..." That was the energy that kept me up.
