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

Youth is so cynical. There's never anything to believe in as a teen.

I never saw the point in listening to only one thing. The low art/high art distinction comes from the establishment telling me how I'm supposed to think.

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

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

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