"Sounds travel through space long after their wave patterns have ceased to be detectable by the human ear: some cut right through the ionosphere and barrel on out into the cosmic heartland, while others bounce around, eventually being absorbed into the vibratory fields of earthly barriers, but in neither case does the energy succumb; it goes on forever - which is why we, each of us, should take pains to make sweet notes."

"When we started the band, it was because we were waiting for a sound that never happened. We got tired of waiting, and we decided to just do it ourselves."

"The sound has grown and sweetened over the years as well, and you can hear it on many of my recordings and, most likely, will see and hear me playing it if you come to a live show."

"Lou Reed is something like a personal favorite of mine, but you could always put me into that drawer of singers who can't really sing, who speak their songs."
Favorite
"I think the focus of the media changes. At the moment the more electronic stuff like trip-hop was the flavor of the month, just a little while ago. It all depends on the angle, from which point of view you see it."
Focus
"Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower."
Music
"I don't even think my voice is really good."
Voice
"I guess the majority of people who want to ban certain musicians are the ones who are so proud of everything America stands for."
People
"But, then again, I wouldn't call myself an indie-rock supporter even if there are some really good bands out there and there will always be some real good new bands."

"If you want to be negative about the whole thing you can say all guitar bands after the Beatles were just a waste of time because the Beatles were the best. I think it's far better to give new records a try."
Time
"If a voice is just too nice, without an edge, it kinda all flows by. You forget it. You don't listen to the lyrics."
Forget
"Almost every band has somebody who's the main songwriter and who has a vision, a very clear idea of how a song should be."
Idea
"I never decided to start singing, to be a singer."
