The game Rock Band has been haunting me like a bad ring tone. It gets stuck in my head and momentarily effaces all that I love about music.

The natural world operates by its own set of rules. The animal world, all the places that are feral and ungovernable, that's where I find a lot of inspiration. There is just as much beauty there, but there is also decay and violence.

I've realized that I have a lot of different loves, and I want to pursue writing, but I can never divorce myself from music.

If your whole world of a band or music is taking place in a digital realm or on technological devices, it's all mediated through those things. That takes away from the experiential and sensual nature of music. That's a lot less exciting for me to think about. It's not my ideal way of living with music.

People are wearing fleece, which is a hard fabric to be angry in.

I will say, as a woman, when you put a mustache on, you find out a lot of things about yourself.

I've learned to really enjoy video games. It's really toxic to have in your house, because it's really distracting.
