I Love Seeing The Fans

Any Reaction Is Better Than None.

Those Times When I Play On Stage In Front Of Lots Of People, It's Such An Unusual And Borderline Unhealthy Process, Even Though I Love It And I Really Do It With Humility. I Don't Have Serfs Getting Me Grapes After, Or Things Like That.

I Have Always Been Fascinated By Dark And Mysterious Stuff. I Guess I Have A Pretty Dark And Gloomy Side. Writing Songs Saves Me From Going Completely Gonzo.

Every Time I Try To Disown That Concept For Myself, Which Is A Really Healthy Perspective, They Bring It Back All The Time. It's So Serious And So Real And So Tangible That You Don't Want To Taint It With Anything Other Than The Thing Itself. I Was Tickled Pink With My Very Zen Self, Walking Around Saying That I Made A Record Because I Wanted To Make A Record. That's So Beautiful. It's Like A Haiku Poem. That Takes Away All The Tension And The Expectation. I Just Want To Try To Do Something Interesting.

It's Pretty Hard To Make Out What's Going To Be A Commercial Success And What's Not.
