I don't celebrate milestones and I don't do anniversary editions. It's not my style to reflect on accomplishments.

The possibility of disaster remains horrific to me. Like when you know everything's about to go wrong in a way that's not controllable or knowable.

I have a hunger for justice, but art is a place I've always enjoyed being able to be free - to live in worlds that you don't have to be thinking about that all the time. I don't see myself writing Upton Sinclair books. My books are to entertain, although to me, entertainment is to make you feel sadness or to get in touch with your own pain - or fear, or to remember somebody who has gone missing from your life. That's my calling.

The process of touring is always so weird to me. Once you've made the album, that's over, you move along.

It usually happens that I have multiple different projects going on at once, and one can be referencing the other.

I wrote short stories when I was a teenager, but they weren't any good and I kinda knew it.

I always want to try and see what the appeal is in anything. It's the healthiest and most honest approach.
