I'm real critical of myself. I think a lot of what I've done is boring indie rock. I didn't intend it to be that way, but somehow milk gets added to everything.

Musicians and artists are not... it's not like politicians or something where you can't really affect them. There's not like this separate caste system where it's like, I'm the musician, you're the audience. Never the two shall meet. It was a case where it was like, Hey, you know what? I'm on your level, man.

You're always as a musician trying to shock yourself or create music that's maybe even too weird for your own taste.

For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.
