I don't really understand the natural world, I admire it and am a little bit afraid of its power.

I feel like we as human beings are trampling all over the natural world, but at the same time, we are totally in its power.

I've been making the recordings for a long time, and I have tons and tons of them. I'm like a digital hoarder or something - everything is on like hard drives and whatever.

I'm really not working in a environment that's sonically pristine. It's not a conventional studio, obviously; it's a bit ramshackle.

I love traveling and I love seeing new places and meeting new people, but at the same time, it takes a certain amount of emotional strength to gel with that, at least for me.

I have totally like an urbanite relationship to nature. I mean I'm not someone who hikes.

I'm really terrible at sort of figuring out the thing that's going to make the money, I guess.
