The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they're having a good time.

If painters could be compared to filmmakers, Bosch is the Hype Williams of renaissance painters. With Bosch, there's always a narrative that is very nonlinear - and that's the essence of a good music video.

It's really hard to be on stage and packing your gear when people who just saw you play are in the room, because they all just want to talk to you.

I find it really hard to throw myself into something artistically where I'm making up a whole character and finding something for that character to do.

If you look at the way people behave at shows, icons are now musicians; they are the people that we worship.

There aren't many other labels who I can say are that successful, and can give me as much as 4AD gives me, and still have such a great roster.

Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.
