The idea of dancing to bad house music is something I could never get behind.

It seems like the record industry made so much crazy money in the 1960s that everyone wanted to get in on it. Now it's just become very corporate. So all of these people who despise music end up being in charge.

Major labels just lost their way. It's like the housing bubble. They lost a sense of the fundamentals.

Years ago, in order to stay sane, I had to really make an effort not to think about how people view us. There's just so much noise, positive and negative, and not much good comes out of thinking about it.

I try not get too self-aware when writing lyrics.

I don't think the emotional quality is the defining quality of the music but it's definitely something that people have picked up on a lot

Whenever you do anything or say anything, you're opening yourself up to criticism. But that's okay.
