Balance is good, because one extreme or the other leads to misery, and I've spent a lot of my life at one of those extremes.

People are always saying, 'You're really nice, I thought you were going to be a complete asshole.' I'm getting pretty fed up with it. I just want to say to them, 'Well I could always piss on your head.'

I found that when I was putting my own music out, with my Twitter feed as the pure marketing budget, I'm preaching to the choir.

I think if there was an ISP tax of some sort, we can say to the consumer, 'All music is now available and able to be downloaded and put in your car and put in your iPod and put up your a-- if you want and it's $5 on your cable bill.'

I realized when I was 23 that I had never really tried anything.

Books are better than movies because you design the set the way you want it to look.

Live interaction with a crowd is a cathartic, spiritual kind of exchange, and its intensified at a festival.
