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

People tend to eat through the cello. They tend to take out the things that make it beautifully cello-y sometimes.

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

Sometimes when I'm traveling, I feel a little bit dislocated, especially the transitions you make when you're traveling - you go to a different city every day.

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

I enjoy touring and traveling because that's the time when I get to read, and listen to music. You have all that downtime, which is great for that.
