An album is a thing you take time out and go work on.

I don't really feel like a rock artist, but I guess in the small category of the world of music genres, that's where I fall in because I've got a guitar.

When I was a teen, or like 18 to early 20s, I used to go to festivals all the time. I'd save all my money.

Artists thrive off each other, and when you see other people doing cool stuff, it inspires you to do cool stuff.

It's easier to be angry. It's harder to be positive and happy, I reckon.

Smoke Ring for My Halo was the first album I bought of Kurt's Vile, and when I first listened to "Peeping Tomboy" I was really depressed and unemployed. But the lyrics are, "I don't want to work. I don't want to sit around all day frowning." I was like, "Ah! Yes!"

If I'm not touring I'd just be at home, just driving - I'm kind of at a loss for how that stuff works.
