“I need some time to write songs and work on my thing, but I'm just living my life and doing family stuff and letting inspiration come when it comes. But I also don't feel a desperate need to keep pushing myself into people's faces to stay cool and relevant.”

“My daughter is like a tether back to the functional world, and I'm aware of how helpful that is.”

“I like the experience being in the audience and being overwhelmed by sound, like thick, oppressive loud sound and distortion.”

“Me and my buddies are all like brothers. So it's okay for us to say 'I love you' or whatever. It's always cool. I think that comes from my dad. That's just the way he always was.”

“It's going to be interesting to see how society deals with artificial intelligence, but it will definitely be cool.”

“It's great that people are basically spending their two weeks of vacation to come out and be with us in some weird part of the world. And I think we owe it to them to take 'em to some cool places.”
