One of the goals of a spiritual practice is self-awareness, and one of the best tools of self-awareness is simple emotional vulnerability.

My goal with everything that I do is to present things in a way that I would want to see if I was in the audience or buying the record.

Never have public feuds with anyone who's surrounded by people who carry guns.

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.

Whenever I've had success, I never learn from it. Success usually breeds a degree of hubris. When you fail, that's when you learn.

You have climate change and antibiotic resistance which are two of the biggest horses of the apocalypse, and they're basically breathing on our necks, and there's no political will or effort being expended to deal with them.

When I was growing up, I was the most pretentious person I have ever met. I only read obscure books and watched obscure movies and only listened to obscure music.
