I Get Obsessed By Little Nerdy Things

[as A Kid] I Felt It Was Really Weird That Music Schools Behaved Like A Conveyor Belt To Make Performers For Those Symphony Orchestras. If You Were Really Good And Practiced Your Violin For A Few Hours A Day For Ten Years You Might Be Invited To This Vip Elite Club. For Me Music Was Not About That. It Is About Freedom And Expression And Individuality And Impulsiveness And Spontaneity. It Wasn't So Apollonian; It Was More Dionysian.

I'm Not Very Good At Doing Two Things At The Same Time. I've Never Been Good At The Walk And Bubblegum Thing. I've Been Doing This 16 Hours A Day. I Haven't Had A Day Off. But It's Very Exciting, Too, Just To Meet All These People Doing Really Fertile Stuff. It's Sort Of Where I Come From Anyway, Hanging Out With People Who Believe In Something Incredible.

I'm Not Sure If It's Because I'm Older And I'm Thinking About Family More, But I'm Trying To Set Up This Thing Where I Can Play In One City For A Month, And Then Write Music For A Couple Months, Then Play In Another City For A Month, Write Music For A Month. Just So It's Not These Two Schizophrenic, Jekyll And Hyde Kind Of Things; You Don't Have To Be This Monster. You Get Inspired And You Can Go Write One Song From That, And Then You Go Back And Play A Few Shows. If I Could've Done That In The 90s, I Would Have.

Everything That A Guy Says Once, You Have To Say Five Times.

I Definitely Can Feel The Third Or Fourth Feminist Wave In The Air, So Maybe This Is A Good Time To Open That Pandora’s Box A Little Bit And Air It Out.
