We live in such extreme times that I think we all have a responsibility to be aware of what's happening and talk about it.

I still to this day get the most inspiration from rap lyrics.

All I know for sure is that issues like race, like class, are always best approached with compassion and open-mindedness.

I do think sometimes there's danger in guest appearance mania. I've seen too many examples that sound cool on paper, like 'Oh, get that guy to sing the hook on that guy's song,' and then that's all it is. It's a cool idea that sounds good on paper.

I go to great pains to find the best yogurt and granola.

Growing up listening to rap music, you almost feel like you should have haters. That's an important part of being a successful musician. It's a good thing, I guess.

I'm pretty sure that the Walkmen are the band that I've paid to see the most in my life.
