I don't throw lavish parties or nothing like that - I just want a bed and a TV.

I hate smiling. It makes me feel weak and powerless and small. I've always been like that; I don't smile in any pictures.

I think I'm better behind the camera than I am in front.

When I was writing the song, I thought that these people have entire lives in there. They're not writers, but they all have stories to tell. Some are very, very down deeper than others.

On the best day, there's no context for the moment. Often, the best writing and pieces have been lost to not having been digitized.

People would always tell me about minor chords - when you're writing a song, to put a minor chord in. For me, it's like doom, you know. You know somebody's gonna be extremely sick or die if there's a character in the song.
