Words May Move, But They're Never Moving

Being A Rock Musician Is Already Like Ego-tripping Hardcore. You're Self-consumed, And You're Always Thinking. It's Really Easy To Say, "i'm Going To Write A Song About This Situation, And When I'm Done, Everyone Will Care." To Everybody Else, That's Ego-tripping.

It's Hard To View Myself Sometimes As Even In The Same League As Other Musicians, Mainly Because There's So Much Music Before Me. I Feel Overinformed By Different Styles And Different Possibilities.

I'm Never Argumentative For The Sake Of Being Argumentative, I Don't Think. And More Than Ever, I've Had To Be Willing To Fight Just To Get Records Released, Or Just To Be Able To Walk Away With A Little Bit Of Self-respect And Pride.

I've Never Been To Vegas, But I've Gambled All My Life.

For Any Producer I've Ever Worked With, Their Toughest Job Is To Convince Me To Not To Obscure My Vocals. A Lot Of People Don't Like The Sound Of Their Own Voice On, Like, Cassette Tape Or Something. It's Like That For Me, And Other Songwriters I Know. Like, "oh God, That's What I Sound Like?"
