Sometimes I surprise myself with how dissatisfied I am with seemingly satisfying experiences.

It's pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don't have to. It's totally different now to back in the day. Now you're paying for a record because you believe in the band. In the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums, because there's some kind of connection.

My dad has a really great record collection that basically went up to the year I was born: 1984.

Well, growing up in the '90s, my first true love was ska music.

I could Google image search 'the sky' and I would probably see beautiful images to knock my socks off. But I can't Google, you know, 'What does my friend look like today?' For you to be able to take a picture of yourself that you feel good enough about to share with the world - I think that's a great thing.

As an artist you have the luxury of maybe presenting an issue in a certain way, as opposed to actually solving it.

My dad grew up in a working-class Jewish neighbourhood, and I got a scholarship from my dad's union to go to college. I went there to get an education, not as an extension of privilege.
