People love their favorite records. And I aspire to make a record someone might be able to love in that way.

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 honestly just love being in my studio working on music. That's all the inspiration I need. And I don't write with an end result in mind, I just write for the simple love of writing.

I truly don't judge other people's actions. But I think that factory farming is an abomination.

Call me a nerd if you like, but I do find it hard to leave home without my laptop and a good book.

I think there are two types of photographers, those who want to document the world and those who want to create their own world. I am more interested in documenting the world and presenting it to people with the question attached, 'Does this make any sense to you?'

I don't think there's anything wrong with not knowing how to play an instrument, but the rise of the non-musical producer has done away with musicianship and focused attention purely on the song's hook.
