I want to build an audience that's willing to follow us in whichever direction we might choose.

I always write the first and last song of an album first, and then the middle just kind of happens.

I'm interested in acting as much as I'm interested in gardening. I want to garden, eventually. I want to learn how to do a lot of things. I've always wanted to learn how to paint, too. I'd like to try everything, but music is my reason for living.

You don't need to drink if you have emotional problems.

Usually I'm not really conscious of what's going on. I don't have a lot of memories onstage. At all.

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.

We all come back to our little worlds.
