I Write Hate Lyrics Really Well. It's

To My Undying Shame, I Do Read Reviews. I Don't Read Them All, But I Like To Get Some Kind Of Idea How Things Are Going.

When I Start Writing Songs, And They Come Easily, I'm Always Very Suspicious. That Usually Means They're Reminding Me Of Something I've Already Done Before. When The Songs Become Unsettling, And I Feel Anxious About What I'm Doing, That Usually Means It's Going To Be More Interesting Later On When We Actually Record The Stuff.

Your Limitations Make You The Wonderful Disaster You Most Probably Are.

I Write A Lot, And Very Often I Write A Couple Of Lines That Are Particularly Revealing In Some Kind Of Way. And Then As A Few More Lines Get Added And A Piece Gets Added, Eventually The Song Pretty Much Takes Over And You Can't Really Find A Way To Change Those Things.

That's What We [outsiders] Feel America Is Really About - The Kind Of Crazed Ravings Of The Christian Right - When It's Probably Something Quite Different.
