If you look at the history of popular music, the most successful musicians have started out being really marginal and esoteric. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Madonna. Prince. Bruce Springsteen. Fleetwood Mac. David Bowie. Public Enemy. Nirvana.

I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.

For me my biggest inspiration is trying to make music that effects me as much as the music made by my heroes.

David Lynch is my friend, and I love his movies and his art and his music. Few things make me happier than working with him.

I like noise. It's always puzzled me why one of the goals of contemporary recording is to get rid of noise and to eliminate any element of a performance.

My goal is to make one-not a hodgepodge, but just the sort of record that I would want to listen to.

To me, one of the easiest ways of addressing climate change and potentially remedying climate change is to stop subsidizing animal agriculture.
