I think when you are doing a song you're trying to give people enough details that they connect.

Sometimes people come up and say, "You have this line in this song and it meant a lot to me." You don't always remember that line as the one. You're putting part of your human being on the page so people are going to have different responses - the other humans are going to connect with different parts.

Being on a microphone nightly has made me better at what I do, made me better able to sing a little bit, but also more confident at trying it.

I think making the songs is to put strength in the community in some way.

I definitely hope to continue to release records at an accelerated pace.

I remember I was really into this British band, The Vapors, with that song "Turning Japanese." I thought that they were really next level genius cryptic weirdos. And then I realized when I got older they are just using a lot of British words, and I didn't know what they meant. But I thought, Oh, they are making up their own language.

I would never talk to a girl in a bar, like a pick-up thing. But I could talk to anyone if they wore a t-shirt of a band I like.
