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

I don't really believe in the use of drum machines live.

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

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

I have a real problem with rock music because it seems that lineage doesn't really exist.

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'm really excited about the remixes. I've always been a fan of electronic music and I'm thinking about that very seriously for the next record as well.
