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.

When I'm on stage I don't say anything. The last thing I want to do is share my thoughts. I don't know if that's mysterious - maybe it's just old fashioned.

I like playing music. I don't always like the feeling of people looking at me. I don't think I'm, like, a natural performer, but I'm getting better.

Moments of unexpected sweetness happen when romance enters, which always happens in songs - if just for a split second.

I force myself to care about the music end by wrestling with it for years.

Even though people like to say Destroyer [albom] is gibberish and all that, I usually know exactly what I'm saying at every single moment.

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