The music usually occurs to me as a complete sound, and then I have developed the skill of being able to translate that into a fully realized song.

Confidence was never in short supply in my case. If anything, I think I overshot the mark with confidence way too early in my career, and gradually, it's about just getting more humble and wanting to sit down more.

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.

The things that keep me awake at night are things like textures and instrumentation and plotting out what things are going to do and what the sounds are that I'm trying to capture.

My goal is to make something special and pure, and that keeps me going, keeps me busy on the path of sobriety.

I hate not understanding the words, because it kind of squashes the song. It shrinks the visual landscape that you've made for the sounds. And, all of a sudden, the content eclipses things.

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