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

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

I'm not dying for things to say.

So much of rock lyrics is just a mirror of real feeling. It doesn't feel dangerous to me. They just feel like "rock lyrics."

Usually [the lyrics] go from one word to the next word - there's no finish line. The music was that way, too.

I want to do some different kind of songs, but say I want to do riffs, but I don't come up with any riffs that I really think are great. Then I can't do a riff album. I'm more of a song, melody person.

If a voice is just too nice, without an edge, it kinda all flows by. You forget it. You don't listen to the lyrics.
