Honestly, I didn't have the patience for biology or history in an academic sense, but I always liked the kind of big questions.

Playing the violin and singing and whistling are just three different ways of making sound. It's not trying to replace a band, per se. It's become a completely different thing. And it's not just simply an effect. It's just a very surprisingly intuitive thing.

I think I'm still a little too intense for my own good sometimes.

I guess I'm attracted to more archaic words because they can be imbued with more meaning, because their definition is elusive.

I create little challenges for myself, like, 'Okay, whatever you do in this song, you've got to somehow work in Greek Cypriots,' or something like that.

Just don't let the human factor fail to be a factor at all

The earth almost looks like it's packed down and dense from so many feet treading over it.
