The architecture of the song, if it's built properly, can withstand all kinds of things.

Of course there are influences, of course there are things that are inspiring, but it's weird to think that I'm trying to keep a mental inventory of them and report them clearly to whomever might ask.

This is the thing I've noticed is that the greater the distance between you and any ordinary task is the measurement of how much rockstar potential you have.

Sometimes it's better to live through someone's work than the person themselves, and to realise that every human being is flawed, but through art they can be perfect.

Being alive and understanding that and making the decision to actually live take a lot of courage.

I think if I were living in a utopian world, then it wouldn't be political commentary; it would be about daffodils.
