I like visual imagery in my head.

I think most musicians know if they make the same record twice, even if they say they don't.

It's easy to be negatively funny about personalities in the media. It's just kind of a cheap laugh.

Everyone wants to be loved, generally. If you released a record and nobody said anything, if you didn't get any feedback from people you don't know, i.e. the press, you'd be sort of upset. To me, any press is good press.

I did some writing. I was just taking the kids to school. I did a couple things and we did some tours. It was a lot of downtime.

There's probably a certain confidence in your voice, or something, that is validated. You know what I mean? I'm just imagining if people didn't already say that you were cool, that you'd [have] more doubt in what you're doing. That's not so conscious, but that's part of my cosmology now.

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