Being on stage, it's like, "Ooo-kay, now I remember why all this is going wrong or right!" It's very much my element.

I am not concerned about the 80 BMP consistency law of popular music. I'm concerned with other things, and they're very valid.

You can always find the sample that covers what you're hearing, but barely...it allows me to really concentrate on words.

What I remove from my writing is linear context. It's not really important to me, because it doesn't give me chills to see, "you flip the latch and the lock opens and then you can open the top of the chest and inside the chest is this." That doesn't give me chills, to think in that vein. So I've always kind of avoided it.

I'd love to sign a contract for the soundtracks to every Wes Anderson movie, you know what I'm saying? Things like that, I have no spots on my conscience about.

I'm at best on stage. It's one of the only places where I actually can feel like a million bucks.

I'm not musically trained and I'm not all these other things. I'm creative with a keyboard and a drum machine, but I can't really make these perfect minimal musical executions - all the things that would be nice with all these refined poems.
