The Cruelest Lies Are Often Told Without

The Reason I Stop Playing Songs Is Usually Because I Get Sick Of Them, And Then They Find Themselves Back Into The Set List At Some Point.

It's A Tough Thing To Know That When You're Making Your Album, You're Going To End Up Collaborating With, Say, Wal-mart, On Your Artwork. That Just Sucks. And The Pressure Behind Getting The Numbers Real Fast Is, To Me, Dizzying.

I Start Songs All The Time. If I Weren't So Lazy, I Would Finish Them. It's Like When I Have A Deadline I Have To. I Always Feel Very Lucky That I Am Forced To Make Records At Certain Times. If I Was Forced To Make 2 Records A Year, I Would Write Twice As Many Songs. I Can't Make Myself Finish Something Unless I Am Forced

I Do Have That Mindset - That Most Good Art Comes From Some Turmoil, From Someone Trying To Come To Some Equilibrium, Or Come Up And Get A Breath.
