If it's a good record or a good recording, then word of mouth will build for that reason, not before the fact, not before anyone's heard it, not because of MySpace or the label.

I'm trying not to delve into my world of abstraction and self-indulgence. But I haven't. When I sit down and I try not to [be abstract], it comes out really forced and awkward.

I don't have a dayjob or anything. And then, winter's [makes it] hard to do anything.

I'm more of a perfectionist. I need to be sure everything is exactly where I would want it.

MySpace is such a weird world to me. I don't have a MySpace account. The stuff that's up there, I didn't set any of it up. Fans set it up.

I like things to be a little bit absurd. But I don't really like playing covers.
