Food in Dublin has gotten immeasurably better than it was. When I was a kid, there weren't a lot of options. Now you're overwhelmed with options.

I don't know if I'm attention deficit, but I certainly am easily distracted by other things.

I want to talk about things that are tangible and real to me, but I also want to do them in a way that's poetic and artistic.

I don't function well in certain aspects of society, and you can read into that what you will.

I never was the front man in any bands I played in when I was in college, and I always learned music by myself at home.

I think sitting in the car with your parents and listening to music is an essential to growing up.

The hip-hop aesthetic and the way it's produced always motivated me. Alongside that I was still wanting to make great traditional songs because I've never had any desire to rap. My love of hip-hop is driven by my love of rappers, but it was built out of my love of producers.
