When someone walks into my room and goes 'wow' at my record collection, at that moment I could actually hate music and just want to go sit in the garden.

I love the idea that the person that signs you makes the record, because you get that sense of guidance, of being there at that close point.

I wish I could do something else, I wish I was an amazing painter or a brain surgeon or something, but it's just what it's been.

I'm sure that there are many situations in life that are going to offer the same risks and pitfalls that you have to get past. That's just life.

There's zero correlation between owning music and being a greater music lover or musician than the next person.

Instinct is the most powerful thing you have, and you have to trust it.

I think I just want to make and be part of great records, because of what it brings to other people, what it gives back, is so incredible.
