I'm not that conscious of my writing, so pacing the lyrics doesn't really enter the picture.

I'm not really sure that I have the same definition of things as other people. Like, when people talk about being "engaged" with the audience, I'm not exactly sure what they mean.

I'm probably more into a more spacious, even meditative, quiet delivery of singing.

It never really interested me in the past but, for the first time, I wanted to make a pop record. I thought a good way of doing it would be to make songs that didn't really make sense to me as songs; songs that I couldn't just sit down and play in front of someone and then get them to play over it.

There are too many Destroyer records to just start rattling them left them off, but they're there.

Part of me likes words as music sabotage, and part of me wonders why anyone would waste their time liking anything to do with sabotage.

Really good musicians don't think of "self-reflection."
