I don't really know where the songs are coming from often. Many of the best things I made up were just off the top of my head.

Despite my own doubts of being marketable or crushworthy, my goal was to write a record of peppy pop songs, hopefully without annoying anybody.

What we're doing now, it's usually more based on records that I've bought or a projection of what I can do well now and the inner dynamics of playing with the people I'm playing with, Janet Weiss and Joanna Bolme, what we come up with. What works for us doesn't, like, have that much relation to the past.

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

There's no point that an album should sound like a watered down version of another album.

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

You know, it's people's lives, so as you get a little older, your own life narrative, I guess, invades a little more. It's not like we're traveling in separate buses to each show. It's a labor of love, so we just do it because we like it. Maybe someone's gonna move, or not want to go on a tour for some reason - that could happen, I guess.
