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.
You want to reach people on a real level and have a fan base that understands you.
I want the words to be read in conjunction with the music.
Everyone tries to research your background. I have a real fear of celebrity and exposing my real self.
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.
