I really do think everybody can sing.

When I was a kid I really liked the guitarist of The Doors [Robby Krieger]. He plays blues, but he plays a lot of melodic things. He plays scales that are kind of unusual, and some bent notes.

The earlier stuff is more like "this is happening to me," but now there are more songs that are accusatory or something, or more declaratory. I don't know where that voice comes from, like, "I've been down the road, we've been there and done that." That's sort of like a tougher style, or a less vulnerable style.

[As a frontman ] I'm going to wear leather pants and get blowjobs in the studio. That would be nice. They are definitely not cool, but I like them. I don't listen to them, but I like them when I hear them on the radio, normally.

We're not on a desperate mission to write chart compatible stuff.

Family is the best. I can honestly say, it's a gift that is beyond making art. I didn't know that when I got into it.

We're probably a couple of freaks who've created their own little universe, are living in our own little world and that's the only place where we can survive.
