When I was growing up, I fetishised New York City. It was the land of Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, it was where Leonard Cohen wrote 'Chelsea Hotel', it was CBGBs and all the punk rock clubs. Artists and musicians lived there, and it was cheap and dangerous.

I love it when celebrities fall apart.

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

You can sit down with Reason or Ableton and literally in a couple of hours make a very good-sounding record. But then a lot of people become contented with that, rather than pushing themselves to making something that sounds great.

The worst case scenario is you really like someone's work, then you meet them and they're a self-involved, entitled douchebag.

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

I always just made music that resonates with me emotionally.
