I feel like every great record is like a world in itself.

Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.

For me, it's always been important to have the live band be one thing, and the recorded band be kind of another thing.

It's not like I had a breakdown, though it kind of felt like it at the time. I agreed to everything that happened. You can't really be at work and be like, "That's it. I've had too much. I'm going home."

Nobody really wanted to do that one European tour. For one, it was budgeted to lose money. They would've made something, but I would've lost a lot of money.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

There's positive attention and there's negative attention - negative attention is easy, positive attention requires actual hard work.
