I want the words to be read in conjunction with the music.

Nobody starts a band to make friends; you do it because of the music.

There's so much to be said for making your guitar sound like a synthesizer and try to make your drummer sound like a drum machine.

I'm really excited about the remixes. I've always been a fan of electronic music and I'm thinking about that very seriously for the next record as well.

Everyone tries to research your background. I have a real fear of celebrity and exposing my real self.

I never understood the low art/high art distinction.

I never saw the point in listening to only one thing. The low art/high art distinction comes from the establishment telling me how I'm supposed to think.

Patriotism is a joke in the UK.

Youth is so cynical. There's never anything to believe in as a teen.

Even that word depends on what you mean by pop. I mean, pop music has currency. It could just be about that girl who's in love with you.

I think there's real currency in pop culture.

What is there in this big wide world for a man to talk about with certainty besides his homeland, home and family?

You will be better advised to watch what we do instead of what we say.

I cannot tell how much my heart suffered for my people while at Leavenworth.

I like girls that are down to earth, just like to have fun, and be themselves.

Fiction is the only way I know a human being can inhabit the mind of another human being.

I don't think there's any way you can worry about how many errors or how many bad plays you've made. You can get into a fielding funk just as quick as you can hitting.

I do consider myself to be something of a pretentious wanker.

When the nature of the thing is incomprehensible, I can acquiesce in the Scripture: but when the signification of words is incomprehensible, I cannot acquiesce in the authority of a Schoolman.
