I'm more into describing a scenario and I move around in that scenario.

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

I would just imagine there's a criticism for just about everything, if you want to take something down. No one's invincible. The Jicks are a work in progress and we don't think everything we do is the bee's knees or something, we're just trying our best to get turned on by what we're doing.

The narrative songs were well-written, like an article in The New Yorker. They're nice and pat. They're more like I'm just showing I can do that when I write a song like that. It's not my true calling.

I don't know if you look back on your life and just see successes, but probably the first things that pop up are the regrets.

I'm better when I'm an autodidact and things just come. Or you're just blessed. I'm not bragging or anything, it just comes to you.

A good voice isn't so important. It's more important to sound really unique.
