I'm a really honest person.

I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking.

Most great records really start with the drums.

Your basic person wants to talk about material culture, internet culture. I think about God, cats, nature.

The great thing about rock n' roll is, if you want to fight - like, fight the system, fight the man, fight the government, fight the people in front of you - it's Don Quixote all over again. You're really chasing windmills.

Most people are living lives of sort of survival. And constantly posing an existential crisis, either through fantasy or oblivion, really has been pretty much explored in rock and roll. At least in the western version of rock n' roll.
