I'm never trying to be commercial or accessible, or saying "let's do this weird stuff, but at the same time we gotta do this safe stuff".

I sometimes feel like I need to pinch myself. I feel extremely fortunate.

Sometimes it's hard to hear criticism, or "maybe let's try a different way." People's feelings get hurt.

I don't have any intention to stop. Rock 'n' roll is my main concern.
