There are some people I've met and it's stressful just speaking to them, because they're really pretentious and I don't know how to talk to them without being pretentious back.

Writing songs about it is a really useful way for me to love New York more, and stay observing it, and not just zone it out.

I was thinking about New York and realized how much I hate walking around in the winter and how much I dread getting on the train.

My music doesn't sound punk, but I see it as a punk action.

You meet a lot of people in New York who are different than you, and have different stories, so I see everyone as super individual.

My relationship to New York has changed a lot. I feel lucky to live here. A lot of times you walk through the city and don't notice that you're in a really beautiful neighborhood, or that you're passing a beautiful building. It's nice, as an exercise, to keep aware that you're in a really lucky place.

I feel like the cosmos implies mystery, or infinite secrets.
