I think the biggest thing - and this I think is true of songs but also of movies and books and art in general - is when you have this moment where you hear a song or whatever and you say, "Hey, I've felt that exact way as a human being," and there's no easy way to describe it.

The point of being in a band, for instance, isn't to get big; it's about enjoying playing shows.

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.

You can either go to the gym because you want to lose weight, or you can go to the gym because you like how it makes you feel when you're running.

There's somewhat of a real fascination with American bands and American mythology in London.

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

Just looking into something kind of analytically can give a lot of ideas.
