I learned how to have a little bit of distance when I explained songs and a little bit of distance when I wrote them. I think this is more interesting any way in art.

It's funny because my main awkwardness around writing the song had little to do with the method.

The only really weird part for me was making sense of the person on the TV at the same time as the person who I am friendly with and do something so friend-intimate with as text.

I always write from rhythm first, so if I need a song fast, I have to start there. Then I just threw some electric guitar at it.

When I'm recording something (especially because I produce my own music) I might consider how hard it would be to replicate a song on stage.

I am really pleased to hear each of my songs described as a total surprise. This is what I want!

As a listener, I like a wide range of sounds.
