So goodbye, I'll be leaving, I see no sense in this crying and grieving. We'll both live a lot longer, if you live without me.

In committing to artistic growth, you have to refine your skills to support your instincts.

I don't record (any type of genre of music) that I didn't hear in my family's living room by the time I was 10. It just is my rule that I don't break because ... I can't do it authentically ... I really think that you're just hard-wiring (synapses) in your brain up until the age of maybe 12 or 10, and there are certain things you can't learn in an authentic way after that.

We've got blue light, we've got all this light flooding our bedrooms and things blinking, and you can't get a decent night's sleep.

I think that Frank Sinatra was maybe the greatest pop singer.

I think there's mind in nature. There's a power in nature, and there's a universal power that you'd better not ignore.

Music is a work in progress. On a record, it gets frozen in time. And it's oddly unnatural.
