When you do a cover it's a way to get attention clicking on something. At the Quiet Music Festival, The Jicks did this Nirvana song, very unrehearsed and not important, but then all the websites were like, "They covered Nirvana!" People like covers of famous people.

I never decided to start singing, to be a singer.

Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower.

The lyrics are different from Nick Cave songs and lyrics. His songs are very narrative.

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

Maybe I don't have the patience to make a virtue of necessity - the patience to carry something all the way through, and to actually say something. Lately, the songs are more jagged and they don't really lend themselves to that. I just take it one bit at a time.

I don't want to be in Mötley Crüe or something.
