I love comedy. If I could be a comedian - well, I probably would not take that job because it seems really hard, but I wish I could be.
I'd love to collaborate and write a song with Will Gallagher from Oasis. I think he's a great songwriter.
I have a place in New England. It's in the middle of nowhere, like horror movie style - Stephen King-ville. It's a good kind of retreat for me to regroup my thoughts and work. I split time: 50 percent there, 50 percent in New York
Like, when I write a song, the song comes first before production. Everything is written on an acoustic guitar so you can strip away everything from it and have it be equally as entertaining and good without the bells and whistles.
I think I'm a homebody. I don't talk to anyone. I sit at home, and no one asks me questions or I'm talking about goat noises.
I like to wear a lot of baggy things. Like, I buy guys' clothes, like T-shirts, and I cut them up and wear them loose, but my blazers have to be really fitted. I also like layering things and really short skirts - or showing off my legs.
I think music needs danger; it needs risk.
I live very strictly by the mentality that what goes on the road, stays on the road. I keep it contained.
I like to wear platform heels onstage and they're actually hard to find. But fans started putting money in them - so now they are filled with tons of bills. It's pretty amazing.
I remember one tour with two male-fronted bands, and they had a fight over who could use the bathroom first. Then they just ended up having a beef with each other for the entire rest of the tour.
New York's home. It's everything I'd want it to be. It's the most inspiring city I've ever been to, and I haven't been everywhere in the world, but I've been to quite a few places.
When you finish something of great importance to you and then it's over, you're left with this giant hole.
I think the long-term goal is to continue to grow as people and as a unit, individually and together, and hopefully continue to keep making records that are better every time, because if you're not moving forward, you're either standing still or regressing.
When I have time, I write other things. I'm working on a book, I paint, I sculpt, I play with my dog, I watch television - I catch up on South Park or movies or whatever I've missed, normal stuff.
There are pop-culture things on television [that I like]. Not so much in music at all.
You write a lot of bad songs before you write good ones. It takes time!
Obviously everyone has things in their past that they don't enjoy looking back on [Laughs], but no, you can't change it.
I'll let the record [Who You Selling For] speak for itself. I don't want to get too in-depth with my personal opinions of it and where the songs came from because I think it messes with the listener to know the inside mindset of the writer. For example, I watched a Pink Floyd documentary the other day, and I learned that "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" was about [frontman] Syd Barrett. I didn't want to know that!
It takes isolation and solitude for me to write.
We got to open for Soundgarden, which was pretty cool.
When I get off tour, I want nothing to do with anyone.
I'm spiritual but I don't practice any sort of thing.
The music was always the thing that has been in our world.
I'm kind of a homebody.
Touring definitely makes you appreciate home more, so when I can be home, I like to stay home.
