I was so broke. I was just trying to keep it going, keep the band going and writing all the time. ... I had written myself into oblivion, ... I had gotten to a point that I was very proud of and that I thought had depth, but no one wanted to hear that.
We were trying to nail this one song, but the feel was all wrong,
When all that `pretty boy` stuff started, I was like, `Me?`, ... I thought of myself as a weird-looking freak. Kids used to punch me in the face just for the fun of it.

Cruel and Gentle Things
I love the word `juxtapose,` ... I like balancing words together like cruel and gentle, sad and beautiful. Life is not all black and white -- it`s shaded.
Ever wanting. Ever longing. Never-ending blue, ... So I`ll take the inspiration with the gloom because usually where there`s a tear, there`s a tune.
(The last of the album`s 10 songs is) It Don`t Take Long, ... Beat`s So Lonely.
