Ten years is a pretty good run for anything.

Touring is really a weird social experiment, even though everyone thinks it's a party every day.

I feel like people just let each other live a little more in New York.

My father was a psychiatrist and a social worker but he was a very talented painter and musician and writer on the side.

Adding instruments to parts of a song and having them somehow find a pocket. That to me was a huge lesson. Like, there's more than 808s in the universe.

There was something in me, even leaving fifth grade, that hit me and said, "I have to get out of here. I don't know where, and I don't know what else I can do but I'm really not going to end up like any of these people."

Most of the bands that I really like no longer exist. That might just be because I'm in my thirties or whatever. But I also think it's the rare band that doesn't, like, turn into something else.
