Being a vegan is pretty easy these days, as almost every town and city has health food stores and vegetarian-friendly restaurants.

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.

Everyone feels awkward, everyone feels uncomfortable, everyone gets older, everyone gets lonely, everyone gets sick, everyone eventually dies.

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.

God has taken his chosen people, the problem being you are the only non-chosen person.

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

I find the fact that so few people buy albums to be strangely emancipating. There's absolutely no reason for 99% of musicians making albums to think about actually selling albums. So as a musician you can just make an album for the love of making albums.
