I Don't Like The Idea Of Being

People Are Looking For Fame Or A Focus, And I Can't Provide That.

Venues Are All The Same, All Feel The Same, These Generic Blank Spaces. I Like Artists Like Lightning Bolt-bands That Go In And Kind Of Change Things Every Time, Play On The Floor, Set Up In The Middle Of The Room. They Go In And They Reinvent The Space Every Time, Which I Feel Is Like The Kind Of Thing That Should Just Be Happening.

I Still Make Music. I Still Write Music And I Record Music, I Just Don't Trust Music Promotion [and] Distribution Right Now Enough To Record A New Set Of Diligently Worked-upon Compositions. I Do Trust The Audience And The Audiences Very Much.

The Songs Are Not Meant To Be Real Life. They're Meant To Have A Psychic - Rather Than A Factual - Bearing On The Listener. It's Rare That A Song Grounded In Reality Moves Me Because I Don't Feel Like I'm Getting The Whole Story. Songs Are Made To Exist In And Of Themselves, Like A Great James Jones Or Robert Louis Stevenson Novel - They're Not Autobiographical, And Yet There's A Reality In Every Single Page. It's Real Life Of The Imagination.

I Think Most Great Actors Have Their Own Life Trajectory, The Character Motion Doesn't Have Anything To Do With Their Life Motion.
