With death comes a choice. And death is a choice.

I grew up in the suburbs and was raised on rap radio, so it took me a long time to stumble upon the acoustic guitar as a resource for anything.

I don't have a problem doing interviews. It's not punishment. There's things about it that I don't like. No one else is really saying these kinds of things, so someone has to. I don't think that it's the most humbled thing to talk about yourself for hours and hours and hours.

I don't really write for an album. I just write songs whenever I feel like it, whenever they come to me. It's all a complete accident.

Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.

It's hard to make out the difference between insults and bad advice.

To me, craft work is the ultimate. Maybe I got this idea from the autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, who was employed as a sculptor to the state and church, making coins and things. While he admired Michelangelo, he also made fun of his spiritual angst with art.
