I think early on I was really into ambient music and like American original Emo.

As I tell my intro creative writing students, after reading someone you love, wait at least an hour before starting to write.

Everything's immediately diminished. That's why there's no real rock stars anymore. People are too accessible.

I don't know whether we'll have another Michael Jackson or Elvis, because the world's too quick to level the playing field in that regard. For example, if Michael Jackson did the moonwalk for the first time now, and it debuted on Twitter, the third comment would probably be: "He's just walking backwards."

I think the less individuality you portray... not individuality but like the more solidarity you have the better.

You feel like you want something, but you don't actually know what that is. I remember waking up the other night and really craving something, but not knowing what it is. That feeling has been prominent throughout my whole life. I think I try and fill that thing with lots of different things. I can't really stay still. I can't really not be stimulated. It's kind of a search of constant stimulation through other people, substances and stuff. I think that's what our lyrical content is about.
