I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.

I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.

People are buying more vinyl now than they did in the late '90s or 2000s. I like having different mediums of the record. It's always interesting to see how the tapes end up looking because they are so tiny.

My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

You want to create things as purely as possible without allowing the universe to interfere so much that it's manipulating it and making things unreal to you.

People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.
