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.

I really don't separate male from female ever with music, I really don't.

It seems to me, that's the only thing that ends up being really fulfilling or satisfying - your career.

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.

If you have very few experiences in your life, romantically, or whatever you're doing, then of course you're going to talk about those, because there were only a few of them - as opposed to the people who repeat patterns, always at the bar, always with someone, always blah blah blah.

When you've got insane drums and a lot of guitar, it's really hard to mix the vocals, to mix it all well.

I feel like people are actually just built differently, have different chemicals going on in their goddamn brain.
