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

I just don't think people listen. I mean, they can't listen to a whole album closely without checking their iPhone or wanting to skip to their favorite song, or putting something else on, practically. That's why the zone out is a good thing.

I think it's just entertainment for people that are interested in the form. To sing along to and be psyched by.

Almost every band has somebody who's the main songwriter and who has a vision, a very clear idea of how a song should be.

If there can be some paradigm shift thing that you can be part of, that's cool.

I'm not dying for things to say.

Things tends to often [consolidate] like Disney. It's the same with music. There's Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young and Patti Smith. There's these three people that everyone seems to agree on. No matter what they like, they seem to like those three.
