In my life, I was always floating around the edge of the dark side and saying what if take it a little bit too far, and who says you have to stop there, and what's behind the next door. Maybe you gain a wisdom from examining those things. But after a while, you get too far down in the quicksand.

I found that when I was putting my own music out, with my Twitter feed as the pure marketing budget, I'm preaching to the choir.

I think there's something strangely musical about noise.

I think the whole aspect of social networking is vulgar and repulsive in a lot of ways. But I also see why it's appealing - I've had that little high you get from posting stuff online. But then you think, 'Did I need to say that?' I've explored that enough to know to stay kind of quiet these days.

I’m just trying to figure out the right balance between making fans feel good and also maintaining some dignity for myself in the process.

It’s kind of a miracle to think that a device in your pocket can play pretty much any song that the world has ever created.

Why don’t the Grammys matter? Because it feels rigged and cheap – like a popularity contest that the insiders club has decided.
