He Made His Life A Lie So

I Liked The Idea Of A Self-contained, Endless Pursuit Of Perfection. But I Have A Problem With Perfection. I Don't Think Perfection Is Very Artful. But There's Something I Liked About The Image Of A Skater Going In This Endless Twisted Circle That Doesn't Have Any Real Endpoint. So The Object Is Not To Stop Or Arrive Anywhere; It's Just To Make This Thing As Beautiful As They Can.

Everybody Gets A Tag. If You Listen To A Velvet Underground Record, You Don't Think, 'godfathers Of Punk.' You Just Think, 'this Sounds Great.' The Tags Are There In Order To Help Try To Sell Something By Giving It A Name That's Going To Stick In Somebody's Memory. But It Doesn't Describe It. So 'depressing' Isn't A Word I Would Use To Describe My Music. But There Is Some Sadness In It -- There Has To Be, So That The Happiness In It Will Matter.

I Actually Don't Think That I'm Gonna Sell A Lot Of Records.

I'm Just Writing Songs About How I Feel Or About How People I Know Feel.

Somewhere Where People Aren't So Mad Would Be Nice, But I Don't Know If There Is Anywhere Like That.
