I've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.

Friends of friends had bands in college or in their early 20s and had a moment where they had some kind of interest from a record label or manager. It's always interesting how people handle those decisions and those moments.

Manhattan is so tailored. It's driven by appealing to the very wealthy and tourists.

I've always felt some kind of connection to people who are kind of over-smart. People who over-think things to the point of some sort of paralysis, and I think that certainly can be me on any given day.

When you're around your family, and you have that history and that shared language, you say things you'd be embarrassed to hear quoted back to you later.

I grew up in the heat of '70s postmodern fiction and post-Godard films, and there was this idea that what mattered was the theory or meta in art.

I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function.
