I've Always Thought That You Just Make Everything As Best As You Can, And Then, One Day, People Will Look Objectively At What You Do, From A Distance, And See Its Quality.

Somehow, Something Is Always Suffering. Someone Is Always Losing Out Somehow. If You Pick One Kid Up, You're Not Picking The Other One Up.

So, I Just Try To Minimize That And Spread Them Wide.

It Goes Without Saying That What A Girl Goes Through, Boys Could Not Even Comprehend. If We Get The Flu, We Need A Week. We're Idiots.

I Love Playing Live, I Don't Like Studios All That Much. I Need The Reaction Of The Audience.
