I write really scathing, angry stuff when I'm in a better mood, and then uplifting and happy stuff when I'm at the absolute bottom.

I'm good with telling people what I think, too, but I don't know why people are so content to treat each other poorly.

I'm very curious about David Bowie's new record [2016]. I'm very, very... I'm just incredibly curious, I want to see what's happening with that. I don't really know who else is putting out records, we've had our heads buried working on ours. I haven't really been paying much attention lately.

I would love to hang out with Elvis Costello, to see what he's up to because he seems so fascinating to me.

There are two types of bands - there are the ones that are basically solo projects anyways, where there's clearly the one guy who's driving the ship and everyone else is just along for the ride. And then there was my band, where you have a few very disparate-taste, creative people who kind of meet in the middle somewhere.

He's writing what I'm singing, and I'm writing what he's playing.

When you're No. 1 or No. 300, you still get to play and write the songs.
