I believe in working with songs that have personal value for me.

I get most of my inspiration from older records and older production styles, and that ends up rearing its head in the records that I make.

I don't really watch TV series because I don't want to get hooked on them and have them suck up all my time.

It's a luxury to not have to just be performing with other people to have my music heard.

I get most of my inspiration from older records. Most of the records that I listen to were probably made before I was born, and I was born in the mid-'70s. I don't know why, exactly, I'm drawn to those sounds.

Certain things you have to stumble on to. They can't be preprogrammed.

I definitely don't see myself as much of a singer, because my upbringing is really based around the guitar, learning chord progressions and that sort of thing. So the singing aspect of what I do has been a secondary adventure.
