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.

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.

In a lot of senses, things are definitely changing in my life, and with what's going on around me. But I still feel like the writing process is as intimate as it as before, if not more. Because I need my time more than I had before.

Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.

I was adopted legally around age three, but it's not like this thing I think about when I wake up every day. I was adopted by my foster parents, so I was comfortable with them. I wasn't in this alien place.

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.

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
