I'm super interested in visual, and I love that being in a band can be as much about making an image as it is about making a sound.

I do feel like the hardest thing is to do something simple and tap into whatever remains of our common language rather than cultivating your own willfully esoteric vocabulary.

There's a certain power in vague language, but I started to get more into the idea of really trying to have a discrete thought in the lyrics and to have songs that were about stuff - to try to make things more coherent.

It's a weird job because making music or writing a song is a personal thing... and it kind of has to be. You can always tell when people are faking.

You think about, like, [20th-century classical composers] Alban Berg, Schoenberg, and Webern sitting around in some living room in Vienna and being like, "We are the end of music. We are the end of this tradition. Music is done."

Sometimes when you're on tour, it feels like you're living the same day over and over again.
