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

It's hard to think back. I didn't even know I was going to do it, make actual records. But I was always making up songs, once I figured out that you could do it. I think it's pretty much the same, but there's less urge to get it moving out there. There was a time when it seemed like it was really super important to the audience and now it's just medium-important for people to like us. But that's okay.

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

I did some writing. I was just taking the kids to school. I did a couple things and we did some tours. It was a lot of downtime.

When a band means a lot to you, you build the fantasy more than the reality. Always.

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

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.
