I guess the majority of people who want to ban certain musicians are the ones who are so proud of everything America stands for.

You can change the world, but if no one's listening, it doesn't matter.

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

There's always a chance, a goal to make something different and get it right, finally.

If you have no shame, and it’s your goal to get people into bed, how much higher could your success rate possibly be?

One time I went to Berlin and, for some reason, everywhere I was going they had fishbowls. Like a fishbowl by your bed or a fish tank in the bar. They seem obsessed with this IKEA version of nature, which a fishbowl kind of is. They had that going on. I just don't really like having a goldfish by the side of my bed. I feel kind of sad for it, rather than happy. But I thought that was really weird. Maybe they have human fishbowls.

Something taken off the page can sound great, I guess. Usually it doesn't. It seems like lately Pitchfork is trying to champion lyric writers more.
