I Like Being Swept Up In Weather

I Wrote The Album [metals] In The Fall. In About Four Months, I Went From Zero To Finished. It Usually Takes Forever.

I Was Grateful To Be Away From All That Familiarity, To Have A Chance To Do Something Anonymously.

Be Alone Even When There's A Million People Around, Because Tomorrow It Will Be A Different Million People.

When I Stopped Touring, It Was Like Trying To Stop A Bullet Train Or A Giant Lead Ball Falling From A 100 Stories Up - It's Momentum And It Doesn't Just Stop. I Drew A Line In The Calendar And Made It A Brick Wall And Just Stopped Dead. There Was No Other Way. It Would've Taken Another 100 Years To Slow Down Slowly. I Had To Let Myself Imagine A Calendar With No Lines; When Every Single Day Is Being Predetermined Six Months In Advance, There's No More Fluidity To Time.

I've Never Been Drawn To Concert Dvds Because They Take Away The Part Of The Equation That's Most Important To Seeing A Live Show: Getting Jostled Around And Feeling The Energy In The Room. I Definitely Didn't Want To Make One Of Those.
