I'm just kind of a hippie. Age is not that relevant to the music.

Like the song "Stereo", to me that's like, kind of hip-hop in that slacker way. There's some slackerisms mixed in with that stuff, but it wasn't really conscious, I guess. When things would get more typical rock'n'roll that was my fallback to go to those kind of lyrics instead of the alternatives.

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

The lyrics are different from Nick Cave songs and lyrics. His songs are very narrative.

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.

Maybe I don't have the patience to make a virtue of necessity - the patience to carry something all the way through, and to actually say something. Lately, the songs are more jagged and they don't really lend themselves to that. I just take it one bit at a time.

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