When I was growing up I was an atheist, then an agnostic, and then I had a good eight or ten years of being quite a serious Christian.

I'd rather be around broken people who have a degree of humility, and just get on with their work.

I grew up obsessed with science fiction, and when I was really young, I wanted to be a scientist.

For me, love is very non-academic. Love, it’s a very physical thing. I don’t mean physical in terms of - I mean, it can be sexual. But those moments when I’m aware of the fact that I love someone or love something, it really manifests physically.

If I was a sex symbol, I would be getting laid a lot more than I am now.

I just want to try - on a daily basis keep trying - to make music that I really love.

In a way I almost feel like the election of Donald Trump has inspired Democrats and progressives and punk rockers in a way that hasn't been seen since Vietnam.
