The music that I write is often not necessarily full of doom and gloom. You'll notice in most of the darkest songs, the music is actually pretty peaceful and lulling.

There's a lot of interesting words, nomenclatures, in science.

Music as a social conduit has always been important to me.

I am, in some sense, a writer. Even though I kinda downplay the word thing, I do enjoy writing sometimes.

I also don't believe that "everything happens for a reason," which is in a similar category of world-views.

There's kind of this unequaled thrill of playing a half-finished song, it's kind of sense of slight embarrassment; like you're blushing. I like doing that. I did that with "Eyeoneye" and it was almost a curse on the song for a while; I debuted it when it was half-finished in a very public way

There's always that struggle between me wanting to keep [song] new and fresh and then be - I can never get with pop songs being so repetitive.
