Funnily enough, I feel the most free to be myself when I'm not doing my solo project. Whenever I'm in a situation when it's a side thing or it's something not so infused with my ego. When I'm all over everything, it's a big responsibility and half the time leaves me in some weird nether state of insecurity and doubt.

I've learned that I shouldn't shrink from success. Though honestly I thought they'd be knocking on my door years ago.

I do enjoy my solo time ... I want to stay home and do soundtracks and watch TV in my underwear with a keyboard on my lap and just be a couch potato.

I never see songs as permanent. I'm always in a state of revising everything.

The universe is expanding, and every second that you're alive, the universe is bigger than it was a second before. There's nothing in front of us, exactly, other than the future, and there's no space for the size, the density of the universe to go. Because it's expanding at every point simultaneously.

I had my gothy phase, but I was never a troublemaker or anything like that.

I think about music in the way that I heard music as a kid - like, Oh my god, there's this weird rubbery ball of undulating things.
