The cover of Mojo, that was good for us.

Maybe I’m a little more confident than I used to be, but not much.

We’ll probably be working on another album in the next few months here.

I’ve never been much into picking things apart.

Every second is mapped out and he has this total childish fascination with color and shapes and sequences.

I remember rehearsing it, and it was the one that we were really excited about and thought would sound the best, and once it was down on tape, it was like, This doesn’t actually sound that good.

I think there’s a lot of problems with being a two-party system.

Then we’re going to take a lot of time off because in the last three years we’ve been touring continuously.

I got more used to my own voice, but still it’s hard for me to listen to my own voice, or hear the recordings.

The cover of Mojo, that was good for us.

I have to have the cotton candy shipped in.

It’s hard listening to myself.

Apparently, there’s a little red demon dwarf that haunts the city, and before every major bad thing that’s happened, it’s appeared to somebody. Last time, he appeared in a Cadillac.
