We live in ugly times.

The arts don't exist in isolation.

I don't think I have grand visions that I will never achieve.

I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.

You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.

Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.

I try to write about small things. Paper, animals, a house... love is kind of big. I have written a love song, though. In this film, I sing it to a lamp.
