[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.

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

I've been getting plenty off my chest. Sometimes I get too much off my chest and I regret it.

I'm not dying for things to say.

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.

I feel the most natural thing is for music to come that way because it's sort of like poetry. Though I do think with poets that I like, like Charles Olson or Ezra Pound, they were rewriting constantly, until the poem becomes a diamond.But with music I don't really feel that way.

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.
