Quote

I have a lot of guitar heroes I guess, some of them are female and some of them are male. Robert Fripp is one of them, and Marc Ribot, that's another guitar hero.

Everybody's got a dark side, but mine doesn't include being around people who are mean.

Checking voicemail is like, When's the other shoe going to drop? I'm always afraid it's going to be terrible news I don't want to hear.

I don't even wanna say female guitar-players, just guitar-players, because music of all things doesn't need to be gendered and stratified, that's so boring.

I think every time I play, every show is different, and I think that at a certain point a song isn't about you anymore. It's about the audience, it's about how the song has worked its way into other people's lives and that kind of keeps the meaning of the song new, because you see it reflected in other people every night.

All these things that we are very nostalgic for come from a place of technology dictating [art]. This time and place is no different.

I'd listen to things that felt really good in the moment and realize they were clouded by enthusiasm or caffeine. And things that I was struggling to get out ended up being really compelling. It's an emotional roller coaster there's exhilaration and there's shame.

Music is kind of a strange business, and it's too weird of a job to have mean, conniving people around.

I do love the ceremony of putting on a record but I don't have space for a vinyl collection.

I was a lusty kid who loved Tennessee Williams. Sexy plays. [For musicians] there are so many that it's hard just to say one. Certain things, like the first time you hear A Love Supreme, you're floored. It takes whatever you were listening to and blows a hole in it.

CDs are usually an hour long because that's the amount a CD could hold - not because that's the optimal amount of time for any given musical expression.

I think anything that you can't poke fun at is a little too precious.

An mp3 is a compressed form of data. It's not the full spectrum. It's never going to sound as good as a record.

I wanted to give the songs a run for their money, to see if they stood on their own without a lot of accoutrements. It made more sense - and it was easier, too - to go out alone and see if these songs could get in a couple of fistfights and still be standing.

The schematics are a little bit tricky, but once you get it down you're able to really program an entire show. Every song has a lot of different guitar sounds in it, so that's what it is.

I think one thing people forget is that every technological advance we fetishize had its place in time.

I'm a bit of a vagabond - a person who loses time and space because you don't know where you are.

I think cults are probably a little less scary. To me, it's scarier that 25 people would wear robes and jump up and down and try to convert everyone to happiness than a Kool-Aid suicide.

I'm first and foremost a guitar player. I've been playing since I was 12, which is over half of my life.
