I don't want my reasons to be informed by what people think about what I'm doing.

I like the model of people getting together to make something when they want to do it and not being dictated to by a cycle.

Hearing that [David] Bowie passed was like you don't really believe it. It's as if the sky shifted a little bit, to remind you it was there.

I have nothing against people getting their band back together, but the artists I love marked a time in my life, and to merge that time with now can be personally depressing.

The feeling of being halfway through a show and just realizing that there's nothing you can do to save it - it's a horrible feeling.

Regarding race or gender or sexuality, one of the great things about art and music is that they can provide people with very little else in common with a similar entry point for discussion, but the discussions still need to happen for life to get more interesting.

It's insane when someone shows up to your show and is like, "You could run off with me right now!" I'm like, "It's cool, I think I'm gonna go read."
