“ I used to do this big rant at the end of some gigs with Ben Folds Five. The band broke into this big heavy metal thing and I started as a joke to scream in a heavy metal falsetto. I found myself saying things like: Feel my pain, I am white, feel my pain. ”

“ It's a tough thing to know that when you're making your album, you're going to end up collaborating with, say, Wal-Mart, on your artwork. That just sucks. And the pressure behind getting the numbers real fast is, to me, dizzying. ”

“ White people don't sing together very often, and when they do, it's about the celebrity of the song. The singing at my shows is all about harmony. ”

“ We started playing our first gigs right about the time Kurt Cobain died, and we were playing punk clubs. That's why we were relevant. It was basically acoustic piano with a grunge rhythm section… If we'd sucked, we'd have been relegated to high-art, indie music that would've been well-reviewed… ”

“ I was pretty much a dork growing up. Going up in front of a crowd and being an idiot was a relief when I was a kid. But talking to two or three people at once and being myself was impossible. And being myself while singing a song was more than impossible; I would've rather died… ”

“ Piano's a very dynamic instrument. You can't do those things to it as easily. I carry that loudness with me still, but I've tried to shake it off a little bit, because I want those valleys and peaks. But my playing style evolved in an era of Nirvana. I play much like a guitarist, a much louder, less dynamic sound than I would probably choose, bu that's my accent. ”

“ The piano is just a different animal. It's expensive, it's big, it's heavy, and it doesn't fit in the mix easily. Everyone grew up with a piano in their living room, so rocking out on the piano was accessible - it wasn't an upper-class thing. Now pianos have become very much a piece of furniture. ”

“ I start songs all the time. If I weren't so lazy, I would finish them. It's like when I have a deadline I have to. I always feel very lucky that I am forced to make records at certain times. If I was forced to make 2 records a year, I would write twice as many songs… ”
