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.

As soon as we get out of our urban shell, we're still at the mercy of nature as individuals.

I saw Grizzly Man; I know what can happen.

Last time I was recording, I was trying to loop on the computer, but it's really difficult because it's really different from looping on hardware.

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

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.
