I know it's simple, but my main inspiration is just my love of music. I know that sounds overly naive. But it's true.

I was never encouraged to believe anything. I was brought up in a profoundly agnostic or pantheistic community.

I just want to try - on a daily basis keep trying - to make music that I really love.

For his sake I'm sorry that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil, but for our sake and the sake of music I'm glad he did.

As long as the world continues to be strange and interesting, I still want to take pictures of it.

I can spend years studying and being in therapy and having a very analytic spiritual meditation practice, but without the emotional component, without the softening that comes with love and vulnerability, everything else I do is really just surface.

I'm actually cautiously optimistic that Donald Trump will be so bad that he will force America to wake up and realise that forcing America to vote for right wing Republicans is always a terrible idea. It's never been a good idea, but what happened here is you have a president like Obama who gives you eight years of relative stability and prosperity, and people forget that Republicans are just terrible, not just for the country but for the planet. Maybe this is America's equivalent of bottoming out, like a crystal meth addict going on one last big run before they have to get sober.
