There's too much rock that relies a fetishism or nostalgia for the old ways. That's a real enemy to music.

Nobody starts a band to make friends; you do it because of the music.

I'm not excited when bands strip things down. I'm not excited by the White Stripes.

I never understood the low art/high art distinction.

I think there's real currency in pop culture.

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

It's frustrating that people attribute something to certain songs and that's not what they're about at all.
