Anyone who doesn't think the government killed my father either hasn't given the issue much thought, or is insane.

I like songs that go to different places and then come back.

It would be nice if I was remembered at all. I don't really care about being remembered. I just want to enjoy my life today and do my best while I'm here. I'm not that ambitious, other than to have a good life now.

Natural gas has been sold as clean energy. But when the gas comes from fracturing bedrock with about five million gallons of toxic water per well, the word “clean” takes on a disturbingly Orwellian tone. Don’t be fooled. Fracking for shale gas is in truth dirty energy.

I like music because it's the only invisible art form.

I did a record with a producer, and the good producers eat up the budget, so I didn't have any budget left to produce this record. I had to produce it myself.

I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.
