I'm terrible at collaborating with people; nothing ever ends up coming out good.

I like guitar. It just turned out that it's the instrument I learned to play. I have a lot of respect for it, and I'm learning more and more every day. For me, the classic band setup - guitars, drums, bass - will stay fresh forever. I don't know. I'm still into it.

Neil Young is the prime example, the grand goal, if you will. He's still shredding, and he never lost his credibility.

If people are talking about you, that's great. You start making more money, that's great. You get to go to weird places, that's great. The music industry is weird, especially with the Internet. People are calling you all kinds of weird stuff, like 'jangly.'

I very much believe the Internet is indeed all it is cracked up to be.

Technology can't eliminate the need for people going to want to go out and see theater and standup comedy.

Histories of discrimination can live on in digital platforms, and if they go unquestioned, they become part of the logic of everyday algorithmic systems.

I'm hoping they slow down a little bit with technology, because I'm just trying to keep up.
