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.

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.

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

I knew what real instruments I wanted and, in some cases, who I wanted to play them. I had started listening to a lot of ambient music and jazz and I wanted to incorporate stuff like that, too.

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

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

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