I like the idea of quietly putting music out there and seeing what it does for itself, to let it take it's own life and see if people respond to it, simply because of what it is.

I don't read liner notes and stuff, and I don't read articles very often.

MySpace is such a weird world to me. I don't have a MySpace account. The stuff that's up there, I didn't set any of it up. Fans set it up.

I record to my heart's content whatever I feel like.

I'm more of a perfectionist. I need to be sure everything is exactly where I would want it.

I've recorded a lot of vocals so far and I think they're kinda still in my own world, but I do have that urge sometimes. You want to push yourself to do other things.

I'm trying not to delve into my world of abstraction and self-indulgence. But I haven't. When I sit down and I try not to [be abstract], it comes out really forced and awkward.

I like things to be a little bit absurd. But I don't really like playing covers.

Being able to draw Batman was 100% of my decision to sign with DC.

It looks easy, like surfing, but surfing is hard too.

I don't go to church much anymore, but Methodist values still wind me up and send me ticking into my daily life.

Krakow the city of Kings, was no longer mine. I had become a foreigner in the place i had always called home

Nah. I’m a consultant, of course. Everyone’s favorite nondescript yet well-paid white-collar job.

I wanna move on but my feelings too strong.
