Checking voicemail is like, "When's the other shoe going to drop?" I'm always afraid it's going to be terrible news I don't want to hear.

For a brief moment, I considered deconstructing the song and going down a cerebral road, but then I realized it would kill what is most powerful about it.

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

It's pretty amazing, someone having that kind of charisma - and it still happens in micro and macro forms - to convince a whole gaggle of people to kill themselves. Or put on robes and jump up and down. That takes a very charismatic leader.

There's always something extremely personal in the songs, but I may change the point of view from what I actually experienced.

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