We have a need to be religious, we need to worship, we need to build totems and shrines and icons, but nobody's sure in honor of what.

If you make money back from your record, you're doing it smart. It's an expensive hobby. I'm lucky enough to still make a living as a musician through live work and odd bits of royalties.

I'm not really a good singer. But most people aren't, either.

Most songs are somewhere between love and death, and mine are no exception.

People in the future look back on primitive machinery or technology or painting, and in some ways, it always seems amazingly intricate and finely wrought.

I'm good at line-drawing, and some of my color stuff is okay. So I just do it for record covers.

Love is the distance between reality and pain.
