I did that Grammys thing - I did a little freeform poem.

With my own music, I try to get away from things that are familiar and things that would be easy for me to go to.

You have to shelve a lot of your inspiration. There's only so much you can do with one record.

Sometimes, I think the way the music business has been destructive and the way the fans are been put through it and try to navigate through it, so much is so foreign to what musicians would actually want to do or what would be natural to them.

I never had any expectations of winning a Grammy. It wasn't something I was set on, that I was hoping and praying and starving for.

I'm always looking for older equipment and ways of recording, but you can't escape the fact that it's all going to be digitized and reduced.

You just want to go back to those 70s albums. Even a lot of the 90s indie records were still done on tape, and you hear the difference.
