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

When you're touring, it's somehow hard to focus on other things. I know other people can do it, but I really can't.

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 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.

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

I saw Grizzly Man; I know what can happen.
