"I like to make music that sounds like it's coming from the bottom of a well."

"I'd rather be a lightning rod than a seismograph."

"I like to hang out in places where people are not trying to impress anyone. I like to be around real people."

"I like to keep my hands dirty. I like to get my hands in the mud."
