What you once were isn't what you want to be anymore.

For the most part I stand by all of records. I just always like the one I've done most recently the best and I think that's the whole point.

To be honest, I’m more concerned with living my life than writing about my life. I feel like that’s really the main thing I know now that I didn’t know when I was younger — and that is that you have to have a life to write about one. If you’re more worried about having experiences so you can write about them, I think you’re kinda being ridiculous, and I think a lot of young people look at it like that.

I know my lies are always wishes.

I'm usually pretty happy. I don't ever really get disturbed in any way, or feel like I need to go back and change something.

You have to learn how to die if you wanna be alive.

It's rooted in things that maybe older people or people my age remember as being rock music. But at the same time, I don't think we're stuck in the past or retro. I think we've tried to push ourselves and experiment with what we can call Wilco music.
