I think the younger kids need to realize there's this whole forgotten 90s that people don't really talk about.

You're always as a musician trying to shock yourself or create music that's maybe even too weird for your own taste. In my case it's kind of weird because I started out being known more for ambient things and ambiguous music, but what's experimental for me is the more traditional structure. For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.

I'm tired of watching attractive people trying to be ugly, struggling for authenticity. Why not be yourself?

It was like I was asking for attention, but I didn't really want attention.

I like my solitude, and I'm a strong-willed person; I'm a very hard-to-be-around person sometimes, I guess.

The same people that always think I'm pretentious will think I'm pretentious, and the people who relate to me will continue to relate to me.

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