I still hate [the Eagles]…. There’s levels of evil in it to me.

My wife says that I changed people's lives or ways of thinking and that I should always be proud and grateful. If I'm dismissive of what we do sometimes, a little bit, she's like, "I was a fan, you changed my life," or whatever. That's what she says.

Almost every band has somebody who's the main songwriter and who has a vision, a very clear idea of how a song should be.

I didn't really like confessional poetry or things. They seemed sort of dated to me, or just corny.

Traditionally, when we lived here [in Portland], we have a record player in the living room, and there's lots of stuff playing, all different kinds of music. I don't listen to any of those Internet radio things. I have iTunes on my thing, but I've never bought a single thing on it. Except for "Call Me Maybe," for the kids or whatever. Carly Rae Jepsen.

But, then again, I wouldn't call myself an indie-rock supporter even if there are some really good bands out there and there will always be some real good new bands.

Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower.
