I'm perfectly happy for my videos to be on YouTube, whether I'm getting paid for them or not. If they're on YouTube, people will see them. If for some reason my videos get taken down from YouTube, well, I apologize. If it was up to me they'd all be up there and they'd all be free.

I'd rather be around broken people who have a degree of humility, and just get on with their work.

What I love about making albums in the 21st century is that so few people buy albums! I can make an album without any commercial concerns whatsoever.

I love lots of different types of music, but it's music that has this up-swelling of beauty and emotion that is most important to me.

As people continue to do more and buy more over the Internet, continue to meet people over the Internet, connection speeds are going to get faster, and the Internet is just going to become an even more integral part of people's lives.

The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.

I'm a weird, bald musician who makes records in his bedroom and lives in the Lower East Side.
