I Wish I Did Believe In God.

Occasionally There Are People Who Are Not Like Me, And I Forget That They're More Introverted Or Shy, Or Just Don't Want To Make A Decision So Quickly.

I Embrace The Idea That I'm An Entertainer.

The 'cool' Record Store. It Is Where You Can Talk To People Who Are Like You. They Look Like You, Think Like You And, Most Tellingly Like The Same Music As You - The Only Comparable Experience These Days Would Probably Be An Art Museum - An Actual Place Where You Can Stand And Simply Be Surrounded By Your Heroes.

Advertising Agencies Come To You And They Are Great Fans, They Are Great Creative People Themselves, But They Ask You To Do Something, And You Say, "well, We Will, We'll Create Something Together." And It Is Work. It's Like You're Doing Something And They're Saying, "change This" And "change That." It's Not Hard, Horrible Work, But Creatively It's Not Just Freedom.

I Think When People Think Of Music From Coming From Oklahoma, They Think Of Toby Keith Or Even Garth Brooks Or Even Woody Guthrie. People Think, "why Do We Have To Just Be About The Bible And About Football? Why Can't We Be About Something Like The Flaming Lips?" And I Salute Them! I Say, "well, That's Great If You Want That."
