“Because anybody can find their fan base through the Internet.”

It’s difficult because it forces you to really get creative.

But it’s not anything like what we envisioned it to be. It’s almost like there’s too much choice.

There’s this really amazing quote from Jim Jarmusch about celebrating your theft that I think has become more and more prominent in music.

I remember a time when I would hear a band and then want to hear everything that sounded like it;

I have this eerie feeling that by the time I’m 33, reality will not exist in the same plane as it did before.

There’s a very distinct difference between a really wonderful DIY label and a soft drink company, or a car company, or a clothing brand, and you will always understand that difference.

You can’t always just put color filters in 80s aerobic videos or take stuff from public-access and look at it in this very ironic, self-conscious way. That only takes you so far.

You should always choose your associations wisely because people create impressions around the music.

It makes you more choosy and also more receptive to absorb anything for 15 seconds.

The Internet really does create this dimension around the music that’s always in relation to what else is happening at the moment.

It’s cool but also a little creepy.

There’s no real template to follow these days for what a band should and shouldn’t be – bands are just becoming these weird little Internet avatars that you either follow or download or interact with in some removed way.

When you completely extract yourself from anything familiar.

You don’t have to hit anybody on the head to be sexy.

I just want everybody to know that I’m opposed to an unauthorized biography on anybody.

There won’t be any hearsay. There won’t be any expert analysis from anybody else. It will be the real deal.

I played so long ago, I don’t think anybody even knew you could transfer. I don’t think they knew anything about it.

You aren’t going to find anybody that’s going to be successful without making a sacrifice and without perseverance.

Anybody can direct, but there are only eleven good writers.

If you weren’t on Chris Economaki’s radar screen, you probably weren’t on anybody’s.

I punish myself more than anybody else does if I am stupid about my actions, and I suffer, really suffer.
