I think it's so important to have a practice, because the consciousness isn't perfection or enlightenment or any of that bullshit. The consciousness is, "Oh, I'm walking down the street and I'm doing nothing."

The key is to just focus on the spots where the love is real, because you can just drive yourself crazy focusing on the negativity, focusing on the relationships that are irreparable and just aren't going to work, trying to convince the haters that you are indeed lovable. So much of that is wasted energy.

I get so many ideas for songs, but I'm so seldom disciplined enough to sit down and crank them out.

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

Crowdfunding as an idea itself isn't new - bands have been doing it since the dawn of time.

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.

Every album is just a greatest hits of whatever songs are on a pile when I go in to make a record.
