I'd much rather go out and have music randomly presented to me by different DJs than stay home and discover it on my own.

I think we’re like farm animals before an earthquake.

I love that vinyl is actually growing in popularity, and that there are so many great record stores.

I've been having a midlife crisis since I was four years old.

I spent so much of my life reading about spirituality and reading about neuroscience and trying different meditation practices. It's a really big part of my life. But it's sometimes hard to talk about. There are so many people in the world who don't live in Southern California and don't spend their time meditating.

I like to quote Homer Simpson: 'I'm like a chocoholic except for alcohol.' I come from a long line of alcoholics. It's funny because when I first started making records, I was at the tail end of a period of sobriety, so I somehow got this reputation as Captain Sober.

The midlife crisis you're having at 30 is indulgent, but the midlife crisis you have at 45 is to an extent thrust upon you.
