While The Things I Do Kill Me,

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

Sometimes An Idea From Six Years Ago Will Come To Me Out Of The Blue. And Maybe I Haven't Even Seen The Lyrics I Wrote Down, But I'll Just Have This Physical Memory Of Having Written It, And In My Mind I Can See The Piece Of Paper, And The Words I Wrote Down, And Then By Muscle Memory, I'll Remember The Chords That Go Along With It.

I Want To Make Sure I'm With A Girl That's A Good Kisser, And That When I Wake Up, I Have Coffee And A Cigarette. That's All I Really Want Out Of Life. That, And World Domination.

I Think It Would Be Wrong To Consider 'ashes And Fire' A Love Album. The Record Is Obsessed With Time. I Believe That There Is A Kinder View Of The Self On This Record.

There's All These Musicians In The World, And Anybody That Takes Enough Time To Create A Record Or Even Think About The Fantasy Of Rock & Roll, I Mean, It's A Really Vulnerable Place To Be In. It's A Huge Thing To Do.
