I'm not dying for everyone to hear everything we do. Forty minutes every two years is sensible.

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.

I like visual imagery in my head.

If there can be some paradigm shift thing that you can be part of, that's cool.

There's something in life that's cool, it's relatively cheap, and fun, and populist. Even when it's elitist.

I don't really know where the songs are coming from often. Many of the best things I made up were just off the top of my head.

Usually [the lyrics] go from one word to the next word - there's no finish line. The music was that way, too.
