Being human is a lot more difficult than being on tour.

To me, rock music was never meant to be safe. I think there needs to be an element of intrigue, mystery, subversiveness. Your parents should hate it.

My experience with being on a record label over the years has been when both of your agendas are in sync, and they're the same goal, it's great to have another army of people and resources and money. But most of the time, they're not the same. Their agenda is just simply to sell plastic discs at any cost, and yours is to preserve - at least in my case - your integrity, and hopefully sell some plastic discs, too.

If I come up with rules or limitations it focuses me in a direction. And those rules can change if you realize it's a dumb idea. You start to mutate it to see what fits best.

I've become impossible, holding on to when everything seemed to matter more.

I didnt ask to save rock, I dont even like rock that much.

It's kind of a miracle to think that a device in your pocket can play pretty much any song that the world has ever created.
