I've always been interested in writing from other people's perspectives and other gender perspectives.

What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?

I don't think you should make music to make music, just to show that you can. That's the opposite of vitality.

Everybody just needs to realize that when you write something you're just in one mood. I was told I needed to write it and it was overdue; I don't even remember what day it was.

I want the music to be heard as close to when I made it, as much as possible. I don't want to get into some "future of the music industry" thing, or where I stand on digital this or that, but I think it's ridiculous that a lot of people in the industry plan so far ahead that it makes a lot of improvisation impossible and makes a lot of people's expectations fixed and not fluid.

I collaborate a little bit with different aspects of my own mind. I kick my own ass instead of kicking other people's asses.

When I go on a nostalgia trip it's not aesthetic. For me it's about trying to recapture the smell or the feeling of something that I've experienced in the past personally.
