It's too bad music can't be like movies. For me, playing music and listening to music and creating music is very environmental. It creates a certain environment; it sets a specific mood.

Sometimes I have the idea right away, like, "Oh, this is what this song's about. This is how I'm feeling."

We're all living in different states and we all have different systems within those states. Even on the most basic personal level, it affects me.

I love electronic music as much as I love something that sounds like 'Pullhair Rubeye,' or something a little bit more organic than that.

I'm not against being proud of where you come from but I feel like sometimes the divisions are a little too bold and it hurts us more than it helps us.

It's not so much a philosophy as much as it is a pace. We need to be personally involved with every aspect of the records including the artwork, we want everything to have a similar aesthetic.

I definitely didn't have a lot of money. I had been fired from a record store. I was just trying to get by. I was on unemployment. I didn't have anything going full-time.
