I Really Don't Know What To Do

For Film And Television, It's Interesting How Fans Feel That Their Particular Ways Of Manifesting Their Affections Are The Correct Ones. It's Not Just About Being A Fan, It's About How You Perform Your Fandom. That's Always Been Interesting To Me.

It Wasn't Just Like, "i Want To Make A Record That Sounds Like Classic Rock" At All. It Was More Like, "i Want To Make A Record That Is A Little More Unsettling And Maybe Isn't As Easily Understood Now." That Just Seemed More Important, Like, For Me To Make As An Artist, Than It Was To Make Something To Make People Feel Safe Right Away.

The Hedonistic Lifestyle Is Difficult To Achieve When You're Still Carrying Your Own Gear. Trust Me That You Don't Feel Glamorous With A 60-pound Amp In Your Arms; It's A Lot Less Sexy Than Toting A Vodka Gimlet And Impossible To Do In Heels.

Rock Band Is More Like Stairmaster Than It Is Like Rock 'n' Roll - It's The Same Steps With Different Degrees Of Difficulty.

I've Always Been A Fan First And Foremost - Obsessing Over Bands And Seeking Out Bands, And Spending Hours And Hours Listening. When I Played Music, The Scope Of My Fandom Became More Myopic; I Was Focusing On The Bands We Were Touring With, Or The Bands On The Label. And You're Always Positing Yourself In Relation To Other Bands. Since I Haven't Been Playing, I Feel A Little Less Cynical. I'm Able To Seek Out Music And Approach It Strictly As A Fan.
