It's really nice meeting people after a concert. Still, it's very weird to be at the center of a group of 30 people all listening to what you're saying. When that group turns into 300 people, it goes on from weird. Some people revel in it, and I don't.

I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.

Everything I do has the tinge of the finite, of my own demise. At some point you either accept death or you just keep pushing it back as you get older and older. I've accepted it.

You don't really know a song until you play it live.

I'm not a morose person; it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

You know, the Internet's made us more aware of what people think about us.
