If you can do something that doesn't rely on a major melody but still sounds immediate rather than being obtuse and devoid of anything to catch onto, that's great.

There is no decision to be more or less comic. I don't feel more or less humorous in my day-to-day. These things are accidental.

To stop for years and then discover that the audience is getting smaller and smaller would be demoralizing.

For me, the audience is the most important thing in the whole chain, so finding out how they respond to things is a learning curve at all times.

I don't love CDs more than anything else, but I was just playing around with the idea that they could be something you're momentarily keeping hold of as everything is passing by.

I know that I can't ever write a song that just sounds completely saccharin. Even if I'm singing about someone being my complete love life, I'm singing about my own inabilities to be as bright as that person.

I like the fact that everyone is nostalgic for vinyl, and I'm being nostalgic for CDs, which are like the new outdated things that no one is going to mourn the loss of - everyone's already written them off.
