I always end up working with people that do a really good job, so I'm the only one that I'm worried about disappointing me, not the musicians ever.

A live show is one of the last holdouts of a thing that makes you feel a part of a community, where you'll go and maybe meet your future wife or boyfriend, or you're taking your sister to her first show. These are the things that you remember later in your life.

I should have been an abortion. The only reason I wasn't was that my father was a Christian.

Everybody in my band is married, pretty much, and have lives at home, and I don't want them to be away from their families so long that they just start to feel psychotic. You have to go home and stand around in your bathrobe doing your dishes to feel like a normal person sometimes.

I like to think that I'm not old yet.

I'm not very interesting. Birds are interesting. I could stand there lip-synching all day long, but it would feel funny, and people would be able to tell. I'm not a good actress.

I just really dig feeling subservient to nature. It brings me a peace and calm, kind of like a Faustian thing, I think...
