That's What We [outsiders] Feel America Is

I Love Performing. I Can Get To Be That Person I Always Wanted To Be - Godlike.

When I Start Writing Songs, And They Come Easily, I'm Always Very Suspicious. That Usually Means They're Reminding Me Of Something I've Already Done Before. When The Songs Become Unsettling, And I Feel Anxious About What I'm Doing, That Usually Means It's Going To Be More Interesting Later On When We Actually Record The Stuff.

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.

Certainly Being Proficient In An Instrument Does Have Its Problems. Because The Better You Get, The More You Just Start Sounding Like An Ordinary Guitarist. There Are Certainly Guitarists That Transcend That And Do Really Find Their Sound And All That Sort Of Stuff.

I Get Criticized For A Lot Of What I Write About, But As Far As I'm Concerned I'm Actually Standing Up And Having A Look At What Goes On In The Minds Of Men, And I Have The Authority To Talk About It Because I'm A Man.
