I just throw myself into a mad frenzy, whip up a storm and see what comes through.

I stopped going out and taking pills and I started hanging out and learning about flat eleven chords.

I feel myself developing more and more of this soul voice, and...it's a mystery to me. Fundamentally, I just think because I feel it, it's alright.

I really wanted to maintain that bedroom philosophy to creating stuff. I don't believe the hype; I think a great record is because I put a lot of love into it. If people are feeling it, that's fantastic.

I've always loved improvising. That's how I write songs. Creativity has an improvised element to it.

I find it quite difficult to analyze my own motives for things. I tend to go with a gut feeling in the moment.

Improvisation is risky. I like that. Another practical reason for that is that you have to go out and play every day on a tour. I couldn't do it if I thought I was going to do the same songs every day in the same order, like a full-on robot.
