I want the words to be read in conjunction with the music.

There's so much that you can do if you mimic your style to a drum machine. I think that's far more exciting.

Everyone tries to research your background. I have a real fear of celebrity and exposing my real self.

Even that word depends on what you mean by pop. I mean, pop music has currency. It could just be about that girl who's in love with you.

There's so much to be said for making your guitar sound like a synthesizer and try to make your drummer sound like a drum machine.

I think there's real currency in pop culture.

I think Paris Hilton is really our generation's Marilyn Monroe. She's the image of the youth today. There's a real fascination with Paris, ranging on the obsessive. I'm repulsed by her, but because of her notoriety, she has access to an audience.
