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!"

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.

I think that a good song is catchy, and a great song is not catchy - but it has a deeper meaning.

I don't like to overcook songs.

People should be free to take whatever they want from music and I think that over time I realized that different people always find different things in my songs, which is really good.

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.

I think even though things are changing a bit, we still kind of tend to grow up with girls being like, 'Don't be too loud, don't be too rude, don't be too naughty,' or whatever, to act a certain way.
