I think that everything in this life is a story you know; our own narrative, our own history, it's all a story.

It's a real gift to be able to have the works of brilliant, great people to learn from and build from. It gives you so much more to draw on, and then you don't have to be all about three-chord pop songs. I don't really like that kind of writing.

Sometimes I make stuff, and even I don't like it. There's something about it that I don't really like, or annoys me. For whatever reason it needs to come out.

I just like being all over the place and writing whatever comes to mind. Having the tools? It's such a gift.

I just think music is one of those frontiers where people really want the "I" to be you.

I think that everything in this life is a story you know; our own narrative, our own history, it's all a story.

This is the way I want to die. Torn apart by angry fans who want me to play a different song.
