me, 2008: "the problem with popular art is it's all so hyperreal and overproduced. it's not down to earth. i just can't relate to music with no visible seams. the creative expressions that mean the most to me are the ones that remind me that the artists walk among us. they look like us and they sound like us. anyone can make an album if they have an acoustic guitar and a tape recorder in their bedroom."

me now: "the point of art is to become a batman villain."
