I feel that's important that I have some place to go that isn't on the cover of a magazine. I signed up to make music.

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

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

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

You can't help hearing things that are popular when you're young and impressionable.

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 so much that you can do if you mimic your style to a drum machine. I think that's far more exciting.
