believe character reality
Neil [Gaiman, creator of the comic Sandman, featuring the Amos-based character Delirium] believes that faeries have gone beyond cool. They've transcended cool. I just think alternate realities make you a good writer. If your work is any more than one dimension, you believe in faeries. I'm sure I'll start thinking now about all the people I know who don't believe, that I quite like. We can still go have a pint. Not the Chardonnay, though.
character thinking doors
It's not as if the stories merge to a point where you think they are your life, but you do let them in the front door and the back door, and it's okay that sometimes certain characters stay for dinner.
song character ideas
I like involved projects. I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical.
asking life means needing people stories word
The word 'confession,' to me, means needing to be absolved, ... I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm not asking people to understand. I'd like to think that I tell stories and sometimes my life weaves through it.
build great touch wall
Sometimes I think you want me to touch you, how can I when you build a great wall around you.
matt talk
I think musically, if you talk to (drummer) Matt Chamberlain, he'll tell you it's really complicated rhythmically.
lose piece vegetarian
When it's all said and done we will lose a piece to a carnivorous vegetarian
barefoot chicken fried involve piece
I have my own parties. They involve being barefoot with a piece of fried chicken and margarita in each hand.
acquired control everybody hairy potato taste wants
You can't control your popularity; I know I'm an acquired taste - I'm anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things. If I was potato chips, I could go a lot more places, but I'm not.
bread garlic mushroom pasta
It makes me think of mushroom pasta with dripping garlic bread and butter, not margarine, no margarine on this record, it's all butter.
dark horses mean
It's as if the horses have come to take us back, to descend, to find the dark side. By dark I mean what's hidden, not necessarily satanic.
derivative slightly
A lot of songs are derivative of each other. Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
form
I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical.
faith
I don't know if the average person really has faith in Washington anymore.
