People do get mad at me for falling asleep sometimes, and it's the most frustrating thing. I can't help it.

I use a lot of humor in my writing. But it's completely black humor.

I was used to hanging out late after playing a gig - you mix adrenaline with alcohol and you can stay up all night.

I guess some people like to just stick with their sound, like Weezer or something, but I think I just try to keep it as close to my real life, in a Neil Young sort of way, as possible.

I've been known to just pass out instantaneously, like, anywhere.

I'll know when a song's really awesome, for sure, and I get super stoked and I'm so high when I'm hearing it back, but then you sit with the record forever. You're mixing it and you can really just over-think everything. I'll go back and forth all the time.

Some people think they are such geniuses and just thought of that. They think they are so smart, like they say "All this talk about Kurt Vile and no one asks him where he got his stupid name from," or, "No one asks where he stole his name from." And I'm like, "Oh, you're a genius."
