I probably couldn't have the same experience listening to that song because I'm self-conscious about some of my singing parts.

There are people who kind of let you know that you can silence the room.

I was living in a loft with Dave Sitek - this loft full of people just working on their stuff. Some were painting, some were writing. Any plans you had were kind of like a plan for the next two months.

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."

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.

Painting and animation can be kind of long work. Music was more immediate and more fun.

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.
