Like the song "Stereo", to me that's like, kind of hip-hop in that slacker way. There's some slackerisms mixed in with that stuff, but it wasn't really conscious, I guess. When things would get more typical rock'n'roll that was my fallback to go to those kind of lyrics instead of the alternatives.

My wife says that I changed people's lives or ways of thinking and that I should always be proud and grateful. If I'm dismissive of what we do sometimes, a little bit, she's like, "I was a fan, you changed my life," or whatever. That's what she says.

I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.

Things tends to often [consolidate] like Disney. It's the same with music. There's Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young and Patti Smith. There's these three people that everyone seems to agree on. No matter what they like, they seem to like those three.

I'm not a go-to-the-gym type guy. I've tried before. And I'm not a jogger.

I didn't really like confessional poetry or things. They seemed sort of dated to me, or just corny.

I just imagine that every song in and of itself is great, but when you add them all up, it's too much of me maybe.
