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

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

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.

I would just imagine there's a criticism for just about everything, if you want to take something down. No one's invincible. The Jicks are a work in progress and we don't think everything we do is the bee's knees or something, we're just trying our best to get turned on by what we're doing.

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

[As a frontman ] I'm going to wear leather pants and get blowjobs in the studio. That would be nice. They are definitely not cool, but I like them. I don't listen to them, but I like them when I hear them on the radio, normally.

I like visual imagery in my head.
