I love America, and I love living here.
Sometimes I forget that the label's been around so long that some of the bands they're singing now might be influenced by the first wave of Sub Pop bands. Is there anyone on that label that you look up to or borrow from?
That's almost the best part, making the record cover.
Sometimes bigger cities, just because there's so much going on, people are a little more jaded.
I wish that I myself did have faith in God, that I had a religion, sometimes. But not always.
I'd like to believe there are people who are good, I know there are good Christians and good people from every faith who just want what's best for humanity.
I don't hate religion, I try not to hate religion. I hate the terrible things that religion makes people do, and I hate the greed that comes from it.
Licensing can be great. You get money for work that's already done. It's not a horrible thing to me, there's just some things I don't want to soundtrack.
I'm not trying to cut myself off from the rest of the culture by not licensing.
I rely on swearing just to communicate emotion, but I wanted to express the same feelings [in song] without using curse words.
