I do love the ceremony of putting on a record but I don't have space for a vinyl collection.

With the first kid, you micromanage it, making sure there's no hair out of place when it goes off to school. But by the third kid, it's more like, "Oh, you want to wear a splatter-painted, Hard Rock Café T-shirt for seven days in a row and not brush your hair? Go for it. Be who you want to be."

I think cults are probably a little less scary. To me, it's scarier that 25 people would wear robes and jump up and down and try to convert everyone to happiness than a Kool-Aid suicide.

What I did with my first records was, my writing process was that I didn't touch any instruments to write it, so I was making it all on the computer, and really the arrangements were coming first, the intricate thing.

An mp3 is a compressed form of data. It's not the full spectrum. It's never going to sound as good as a record.

All these things that we are very nostalgic for come from a place of technology dictating [art]. This time and place is no different.

I think anything that you can't poke fun at is a little too precious.
