I've always got songs ready to go. It's not a challenge to conjure anything, it's just whether the music I supply is desirable.

I like writing stories. That's what I like to do. That's the way I see it, but with every song I get sucked into feeling something.

I just think if you're gonna play a show you should try and look nice.

I've learned a lot about how to be in a band. It's like being in a marriage to these people. Because there's so many of us, there's a polygamous quality to it, which I've heard is really enjoyable.

You're forced to step into that performer role. I can't just hide behind a synthesizer forever.

I'm totally open to outside opinions and criticism.

It is a game you have to play. You have to tour your ass off. It's just always "where am I now" versus "where could I be?" It's constant competition with yourself. But I'm up for it.
