An album doesn't mean as much to a lot of people now, compared to just songs.
Craig Finn
Ray Cappo never tried to convert me into a Krishna, although one of his cohorts probably did. I think it was just about being wrapped up in this thing. Hardcore, at one point, meant everything to me. Now you look back, and I still think it's cool, but to some extent I grew out of it. Other things became a bigger priority for me.

Some people will totally get restless, since you can make demos pretty easy. It's not unreasonable for someone to say, All right, can you just record this and go home and work on it?
Craig Finn
If I'm stuck, I'll sit down and read. That's a big thing.

If we enjoy what we're doing, we shouldn't really need a break. It's fun for us to play music. It's our livelihood, but I don't look at it as a job. It doesn't seem to me to be a problem to constantly be doing this.

People make maps of all the places I've mentioned. I knew that those people were out there. I wanted to create something for them.
Craig Finn
I definitely hope to continue to release records at an accelerated pace.
Craig Finn
Springsteen on that record started writing less about having your wind in your hair and turning the radio up and more about being dragged down by adult things. Regular people trying to get ahead. A little less mythical and romantic, and more real. It's a really spectacular record for that reason.
Craig Finn
I think, Trump ran a very nostalgic campaign. There's an idea of like, to put it bluntly: What if it was like before all our kids got strung out on drugs? You know, what if it was like that? Make America like that.
Craig Finn
As a writer, if you have something on a page, you can start moving it around and get something you like. But if you have a blank page, it's just gonna be a blank page.
Craig Finn
If you wait four or five years between records, it better be a masterpiece, you know? And if you keep putting them out, you're saying, 'Hey, here's 10 more songs'.

You can either go to the gym because you want to lose weight, or you can go to the gym because you like how it makes you feel when you're running.
Craig Finn
I am a really obsessive music listener, and I would look for clues.
Craig Finn
One of the things is my process requires a lot of repetition. I can probably drive people crazy because I'm interested in playing a song twenty times in a row.
Craig Finn
A conversation with you is a different thing than projecting to a couple hundred people. It's bigger and more animated and it's on a bigger scope, but still in the heart, it's honestly me.
