I was really inspired by intense nature and landscapes, and I'm always inspired by open spaces and giving room for things to grow sound-wise and visually. I have a bit of claustrophobia myself which I think translates into my music.

I think a lot of people read the album cover as something scary or creepy. I think it's something positive...something lasting.

I'm always excited to make the next album because I definitely get sick of my work the second it gets out there.

I was always really interested in the reality of things - the two sides to every story - and I always had a darker perspective on things. Even as a kid I would watch the world news for hours just to get a sense of what was going on in the world.

It really took me a long time to become comfortable as a performer. I think I'm finally starting to enjoy playing live.

I wish I could be invisible and just play music and not have to worry about anyone looking at me.

I've always had some sort of affinity for the ends of things. It depends on the song, I try to explore it in different ways. Sometimes when I think about death I'm thinking of it as a physical character that can teach you things and sometimes I'm thinking of it in a finite sense and other times I'm just asking questions that I can't answer. I don't really like to state my personal belief, because I change my mind too often, but I imagine something peaceful. Whether it's a rest or another world or some kind of eternity, it doesn't seem like a scary thing.
