My Music Has To Do With Beauty,

It's Always A Risky Business Inviting Somebody On Stage. You Never Know What They're Going To Do. I Try To Avoid Letting People Join Me Onstage Because It Can Be Very Distracting, And Overly Theatrical.

I Want To Write Songs That Are So Sad, The Kind Of Sad Where You Take Someone's Little Finger And Break It In Three Places.

I've Always Done A Lot Of Research And Stuff Around The Songs That I Write So There Are Pages And Pages Of Writing And You Can Kind Of See These Songs Emerging.

People Often Can't Separate, Or Can't Understand, That To Be Funny Is To Be Serious; It's A Way Of Pulling People In And Not Scaring Them Off. I Think A Lot Of The Funny Stuff, Underneath It, There's A Deep Anxiety Going On.

Rock Music Is The Province Of The Young, And It Should Be Made By Young People. I'm Not Running Around In A Pair Of Spandex Tights Trying To Reclaim My Youth.
