In one breath, I can say that we are God, but in another I have to say that we aren't deities.

I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.

Most of the songs are, in a roundabout way, actually addressed to myself, there's a certain aspect of the songs that's very confessional, very unadulterated...It was a very unfettered, spiritual experience.

The more vulnerable and the more confused the song is, the equal and opposite effect is how I feel after having written it.

I'm saying what a lot of people would want to say but are too embarrassed.

I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye, whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.

...and what it all comes down to is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet.
