Sometimes I think I don't have much choice in the matter. It's just what happens, and I'm following my instincts the whole time.

I put a lot into my records, and I won't release anything I'm not totally thrilled with.

Sometimes I just think we're not meant to fly halfway around the world in a day. That some kind of mutation is going to happen.

I still kind of believe this absurd line that if you have to write it down, it's not worth remembering.

People who are thinking about your music almost as much as you are, that almost never happens.

I've always felt that dark lyrics with dark music is pretty useless. Maybe that's a strong statement - not useless, but for me, it's just boring.

Melodies are just honest. They can only be what they are. Words have the capacity for deception. Theyre all full of subtext, and some of them are cliche and overused and vernacular. Theyre tricky. All I can say is, words are tricky.
