Only after a piece of music is done does my frontal cortex allow me to organize what might be trying to come out of my subconscious.

First thought, best thought. I live by that when I make my own music.

There is also a particular frustration that I have with language. It's so clumsy. And the reason I'm feeling that is more because on your breathing and your intonation than the actual words.

A lot of me figuring out how to love myself more involves finding the things that I'm ashamed of and looking them right in the eye. And something I always find beautiful about Jesse's work is that he finds beauty without any calculation. People say that his work is dark, but he never sees it as such. For him it's all almost about educating people to process why they feel disgust.

It's very human to try to put things into boxes, and it's hard for us to reconcile with grey areas, and yet somehow that's the area I find the most poetic, the juiciest.

You become more animalistic when you don't know what's coming next - you have to be on guard, but at the same time you're also more receptive.

When I sit down to make music, I try to enter a flow; I always open a blank session and just make something that I feel like making.
