I have no ethics when it comes to art. You just do what you can to make it as beautiful as you can.

One thing that I've struggled with has been a certain amount of animosity toward the whole human race.

I suppose, if someone was into baseball for an extended period of time during their formative years, they're always going to be interested in it.

My extended family is very political and very polar with each other, and it's put a bad taste in my mouth. All the rhetoric going back and forth and sort of hating on each other. So I'm not an extremely politically active person at this stage of my life.

I'm not really excited about the idea of committing to anything permanently.

I really [enjoy] working with new people and just sort of the freshness of it. ... I [want] to have those new conversations, musically and otherwise.

If you're 14 and you're skinny, you can't be on the football team, basically. It's just not even really possible. But skating is something that you can do that gets that athletic urge satisfied, but you get to do it on your own terms. You can be as ballsy as you want to be. It was perfect for me.
