Everything's very perfectly balanced; for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.

I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.

I just like to switch things up all the time. Like when it comes to singing, I try to find a different character for each song.

I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.

People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.

I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there's been points in my life when they weren't around, and it's a real sort of miserable existence.

The point is, I'm weird, but I never felt weird.
