<blockquote>In my mind a lot of the enemy is that people decided that they're going to stop paying for music. And really, that fucked up a lot of things in music. It forced the music industry to get a little more "Sporanos" on artists, you know? And that's kind of why things get so fucked up. Everybody decided to go off the black market and meet someone under the Bay Bridge and get their music for free, rather than go to a mom and pop shop and buy the record. And when people decided they were going to start getting it for free from the crooks, the crooks changed their strategy and became powerful doing it that way. And it became a whole new game.

It's messed up. And it sucks to get caught in that trap. It just sucks. This is the thing that's killing music. And that's what I wanted to break out of. And I believe in my heart that there's a way to make music that matters and is cool and powerful and means something.</blockquote>
