Occasionally there are people who are not like me, and I forget that they're more introverted or shy, or just don't want to make a decision so quickly.

There is a lot of melody and things that sound familiar in hundreds of songs.

I'll accept the pain and the suffering, because I know that in that there's a lot of beauty, too.

The 'cool' record store. It is where you can talk to people who are like you. They look like you, think like you and, most tellingly like the same music as you - the only comparable experience these days would probably be an art museum - an actual place where you can stand and simply be surrounded by your heroes.

We hear so many records these days that are done with click tracks, as opposed to a drummer.

I think I'm really lucky that the things I'm able to love - people, animals - it's like the more you put yourself into it, the more you get out of it.

I think if you're lucky, you start to make music and it gets things out.
