'Punk' doesn't mean Mohawks and safety pins. It's about not conforming.

We wanted to wait until the music felt right. We didn't want to do it, just to do it. We didn't want to do it for money, I guess, is the thing that would have just bummed me out so much.

Theres no amount of money that makes you feel better when people think of you as a joke or a hack or a failure or ugly or stupid or morally empty.

I look at albums like novels. If you write a really good scene or a really good moment, just because you wrote it, doesn't mean that it fits with the story that you're writing.

I love playing our older songs along with newer ones but If all I have is my old stuff, I quit. Creating is more rewarding.

Between Prince and my dad's fusion-jazz records, I didn't have a choice in being funky.

When I eat something like vegetable bibimbap, I get that warm and fuzzy feeling of eating stuff that I grew up with.
