While The Things I Do Kill Me,

It Sounds Like I'm Channeling Or Something, And I Don't Really Fully Understand What It Is. I'll Get A Piece Of Paper And Write Down What I Think Is Coming To Me. And I'll Play It Once. Whether It's Being Recorded Or Not, I Can Then Usually Remember It For A Sometimes Shocking Amount Of Time.

The Good Thing About Playing The Guitar: You Can Take On Different Kinds Of Music. I'm Always Doing Something Different From The Last Thing I Did Because I Have The Shortest Attention Span On Earth.

Maybe I Am A Jerk Sometimes. Maybe I'm Not. I Think Most People Are Kind Of A Jerk Once In A While.

I'm Never Argumentative For The Sake Of Being Argumentative, I Don't Think. And More Than Ever, I've Had To Be Willing To Fight Just To Get Records Released, Or Just To Be Able To Walk Away With A Little Bit Of Self-respect And Pride.

For Any Producer I've Ever Worked With, Their Toughest Job Is To Convince Me To Not To Obscure My Vocals. A Lot Of People Don't Like The Sound Of Their Own Voice On, Like, Cassette Tape Or Something. It's Like That For Me, And Other Songwriters I Know. Like, "oh God, That's What I Sound Like?"
