[on the 2004 reunion of The
Pixies] I'd given up the drums and become a professional magician. And I have to preface that by saying that being a musician, a starving musician, is hard enough. But being a magician is a billion times harder to make a living at. So doing magician shows was keeping me busy, but I wasn't really making a lot of money. I was also, at the time, involved with a really bad, bad woman. So I was really down on all counts. And then I got a call from Joe [Santiago] saying that they had spoken about the
Pixies. I had never, ever dreamed that we would get back together.
