You want to reach people on a real level and have a fan base that understands you.

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.

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

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.

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

After a while, you start to believe that your opinions are more valid than everyone else's. It can be hard to be humble about making really good music; you really believe that you're a savior to music. That's why bands don't like each other.
