I don't really watch too many remakes. I saw Scorsese's version of Cape Fear, which was good. That was a good remake.

Photography and movies are a much bigger influence on me than music is itself.

I do question a band's longevity, because most of my favorite bands only made one or two good albums. After that, I didn't care about them anymore. Sometimes I wonder if people feel the same thing about us. The way I look at it is, if we can continue to inspire ourselves and write really beautiful music that we're proud of, I don't think there's any intention to stop.

I think you go through different phases when you do albums, and I think that they change according to where you are in your life and what you're inspired by at the moment.

Unfortunately people sometimes suppress their lust. And it's not only sex. It could be lusting for anything really, anything that's supposedly very bad for you but can be good for you, too.

I probably watch movies more than I actually listen to music, I think.

I very rarely sit down with a guitar and try to write a song. I usually think about it a lot and then I'll try to re-create what was in my head at the time.
