I Don't Think I Would Live Outside

These New Bands Sound Like Gang Of Four — If Gang Of Four Sucked.

I Have No Problem Spending Money On A Great Meal With Friends Or A Flight To See Somebody That I Love, Versus Something Like A Fancy Car. I Don't Need A Fancy Car. I Don't Need A Giant Tv.

The Enemy Of Any Artistic Statement Is To Create Something That No One Cares About, In The Sense They Have No Opinion Either Way.

I've Noticed That As Someone Who Has Done Music And Creative Things In Washington State And Portland, To Kind Of Toot Your Own Horn, Or Admit, "i'm Going For It. I'm Hustling," Is Not Exactly The Norm. Which Is Weird, Because You Go To New York, Or La, Or Anywhere Else, You've Got To Be Gunning For It - And You Should Be - You're Part Of A Fast-moving Stream Of Other People Who Are Really Ambitious. People Move Here To Work Less. So, To Say That You're Hustling All The Time, And Going For It, Is Kind Of A Little Bit Against The Grain Here.

I've Honestly Always Been An Overly Analytical, Highly Observant Person. I Was Playing Music But Thinking About It At Same Time, Which Was Sort Of Exhausting. Aside From The Pain Of Writing - You're Not Really In A Gang Like You Are In Band, It's A Little Bit Lonelier - I Think It Was Always Something That I'd Wanted To Do. So The Transition Wasn't Abrupt Or Painful.
