I don't have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it's really awful.

Unlike the rest of everyone I hang around with, I don't drink, so I remember what happened after shows. And I have never hit on anyone after a show, I'm not that kind of person. Even if I was attracted to someone, I'd be too shy.

If you're not Jay-Z, a record leaking isn't going to affect you.

I've been going through a lot of... stuff. I need some space, which people were very kind enough to give me, and I feel really gracious about that. Nobody forces me to do things or say things or do interviews.

I see a lot of people doing an "'80s thing" who weren't even born until the '90s.

When money and fame happen too late, it's like pouring kerosene over a fire of self-loathing.

My entire education in music was in reading interviews with bands like Stereolab and finding out about Brazilian music or a Romanian composer. You expose yourself to what people you look up to admire.
