aside bit cynical elements expression god hope putting realize references sort surprised thinking
I was kind of surprised after making the record, like, 'Wow, there are a lot of god references here!' I didn't realize I was thinking about that so much. There are a lot of cynical elements to these songs, and there's sort of the expression of dissatisfaction ? but not without hope at the end. It's about putting all that aside and having a little bit of faith.
thinking perfect kind
I think you kind of lose the human aspect when you make things too perfect.
thinking ideas world
I'm a control freak with regards to certain aspects. I think you just have to be when you're making stuff in the world. You have to have a clear idea what you want.
I'm not a religious person by any means. But I'm curious.
I'm not always as disciplined as I should be. I don't sit down and write every day, but I should.
almost best shows
The best shows I play, I almost don't even remember off the stage.
freedom hundred solo sound true whatever wherever
That is the true joy of being a solo artist. I can do whatever I want. I can go wherever I want. I can show up with my guitar and my song, and it can sound a hundred different ways. That's the freedom of being on your own. The flipside is: That's you on the cover. If it sucks, it's your fault.
I was a big fan of 'Days of Our Lives' growing up.
interview learn lessons
I learn lessons with every interview I give.
directly front
I like babies, but not in the front row. I don't want to sing directly to a baby.
love record
I love 'Wowee Zowee.' That was the first Pavement record I bought.
love songs time
I love kids, but there's always time for them later. You can always adopt; you can have a puppy. The songs are my children.
I'm more in the Stones camp than the Beatles camp.
I never intended to set out and be a singer-songwriter. I just sort of became one because I put out my own record.
