Even if I'm writing music, it's with a lyric in mind, to communicate some kind of feeling.

I don't care much about politics. That kind of witchcraft I stay away from because people end up dead. I'd rather die for music.

I don't think music is my job - I don't think about it that way, because I don't really get paid. There's no paycheck at the end; it's more of a 'whatever is left over' kind of situation.

Lyrics are my racket; music is play - the fluff stuff.

I've always littered my songs with jokes. You might need to dig a little deeper to find the humor, but I would totally object to being some kind of distraught personality. I've never tried to attach myself to that.

I'm making music with my friends. It's fun. It should be fun. You shouldn't make music if it isn't fun.
