There is a real patriotism underneath the best of my music but it is a critical, questioning and often angry patriotism.

I was real good at music and real bad at everything else.

The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.

The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.

This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for.

It was just playing music. I didn't have any intention for it. I knew that I enjoyed making this kind of music. ... It was really just purely for the joy of doing it. It was a lot of fun.
