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.

Berlin is just an affordable European city that's supposed to be cool. There's nothing too deep about it.

Some people, they've had a lot of fun, even if it was dumb fun and a shitty body of work.

I just imagine that every song in and of itself is great, but when you add them all up, it's too much of me maybe.

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.

Family is the best. I can honestly say, it's a gift that is beyond making art. I didn't know that when I got into it.

I hated it so much as a child. I just didn't like it when punk bands went metal, it really bothered me. It was happening left and right in the 1980s. It started I think with D.C. bands - G.I., Soul Side, they went metal. Right at that time, R.E.M. was coming out, these more kinda feminine bands, and I was more drawn to that than to go metal. And you remember MTV, with the bad metal. But even Metallica, it just wasn't my direction.
