My records are basically a litany of complaints against the world, and I'm quite like that in real life as well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I can't stand making records.
I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind.
People are really set in their ways in how they produce records, and I was at least open enough to where I knew I wanted to do something totally different.
I get accused of talking about records. But it's the guys who interview me who ask about them.
I have heard some stuff that might be influenced by my records, but it's usually pretty wacky and off-the-wall, which is kind of annoying, to be frank.
My record speaks for itself.
And ultimately the people who produce my records, they know that they're here to serve the purpose of me expressing who I am at this period of time and augmenting that or pulling it forward and I love that process.
I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
My Struggles is a record close to me. It's about what I went through at home living with an abusive father.
When you make a record, you listen to it literally hundreds of times. When it's done and you can't do anything else, I never listen to my records.
