I make the music that I want to make and make the show that I want to make. If you like it, you come. If you don't like it, you don't have to.

I kind of rely on my artist friends to make my physical music worth buying by having them all come together and create beautiful artwork that everyone is gonna want to own to support my record.

You know, there are so many snarky angry critics out there who are just sort of looking to tear down whoever is getting talked about.

When you trust people to help you, they often do.

There's a huge cloud of shame around art and business being seen as bedfellows.

There’s no “correct path” to becoming a real artist. You might think you’ll gain legitimacy by going to university, getting published, getting signed to a record label. But it’s all bullshit, and it’s all in your head. You’re an artist when you say you are. And you’re a good artist when you make somebody else experience or feel something deep or unexpected.

I think I've always felt as a band and as a musician and a music business person, I've always felt like an outsider, period.
