So you don’t stress job security as a pop musician?
No! I don’t want to do this for very long. I have other things I want to do with my life. We only get one life, and I look with incredible sadness on people like the Rolling Stones. I find them really depressing. Not to make fun of them, but when you look at these musicians, you interview them and they’re on a comeback or something and they’re like, ‘Well, I just don’t know what else I’d do,’ I find that to be the most depressing thing in the world. I can’t think of a worse reason to make a record, just because you don’t know what else to do. It’s like here’s a list of shit I wish I had time to do; go fucking do some of it, you jackass. There’s a million things I want to do. I want to be a teacher; I’d like to eventually teach. I like kids. I like to write; I want to write fiction. I’d like to start a club. I’m training in Brazilian jujitsu; I’d like to do Ultimate Fighting.
