I don't like when a song goes from one mood to another unless it's going to be out of sight.

I get to focus on being a musician sometimes, and I get to focus on being a vocalist sometimes.

I'm usually pretty insecure.

I love bands that can collaborate, and I feel like the Rolling Stones wouldn't be nearly as great as they are if it wasn't for them having a real group.

When we're recording, I always dress up.

I just don't think you can make records easily and have them be great. It's a process. You've got to get really lucky all the time, or you've got to work like mad.

great you work time

I like sparseness. There's something about that minimalist feel that can make something have an immediate impact and make it unique. I'll probably always work with that formula; I just don't know how.

I'd always listened to my parents' Bee Gees albums.

It doesn't matter what age you are, an effective song will move you.

I wish records got made faster and looser with less thought in them, but since touring is so much more profitable than records, you spend so much time on the road that it's hard to work on them. And the records get further and further apart.

road you work time

Usually I write the songs at home and then I bring them in to the band; when we play them as a band, that's kinda how we figure out the feel of how they're going to be presented on the record or live.

The people that only listen to one song from a record and flip around that much, if that's the only way they listen to music, they're probably the kind of people that like music as something to drive to, you know?

you music song people

I love playing bass. It's mostly what I play in Divine Fits.

There are so many songs out there in the world that - if I know we have to come up with a new cover, then I'll just sit in my room and sing song after song and figure out which one I can kind of sing the best.

There was a very obnoxious phase for Axl Rose. I'm sure if I had experienced as much success as he had, I would probably be a third as obnoxious. I'd probably be obnoxious, too. But not that much.

sure he rose success

Usually, whenever my mom would come over I would try and put on music that I thought she would like just to make her feel more at ease.

I always thought of indie-rock as being rock music by bands that were on independent labels, and that's a great thing.

thought great always music

The Futurists were an art movement in the early 20th century which basically glorified machines and the Industrial Revolution.

I'm into it, I'm into MP3's; I think there's no way you're ever going to be able to legislate people having to buy a record in order to listen to it. You have to look at it as a means of promotion, and if the music is good enough, promotion is a good thing.

good you music people

If I write the song, I get to name it.

write name get song

I do go through periods of obsession with certain records.
