Whenever I've had success, I never learn from it. Success usually breeds a degree of hubris. When you fail, that's when you learn.

I don't think too much about how it might exist in the world in a commercial sense - I more just try and focus on making music that I love and trying to put it out into the world.

Over time I just realised the world is a very complicated place, and there is not a single structured belief system that adequately and comprehensively describes every aspect of our existence. So that is my new approach to life and spirituality - I don't know anything, except on a very naive and subjective level.

When I do have time to work on music, I'm kind of selfish, and would rather work on my own stuff than someone else's.

But at the same time, I don't let myself regret things to the point that I'm paralyzed.

Somehow, magically, I've become an electronic musician, and I have a recording studio that looks like the bridge of the Enterprise.

I feel compelled to make art that on one hand reflects and sometimes almost creates like a sense of comfort when confronted with the strangeness of the world.
