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

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.

Learning how to record has been super empowering for me, because I spent so many years going into the studio and watching other people do it. I guess a lot of musicians have gone through this because now recording is really available for everybody.

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

I find when I'm touring or when I'm traveling, I just enter this other world kind of. It's much easier for me to be creative and be unselfconscious about creating when I'm home.

I can really only can record at home.
