For anyone that's ever had a musical breakthrough in their career, it's always followed by the departure period right after.

When you live your life through records, the records are a record of your life.

In the 2000s, I became an artist. I started preserving and educating. I became more obsessed with making iPod playlists for people.

Every time a new record started, people exhaled with pleasure, or their bodies moved automatically. I really started getting high off of the euphoric exclamations. Every record I put on was like a baptism.

It's easy for me to say, "Oh yeah, that's the self-saboteur move that most artists pull whenever they're afraid."

I love traveling the States no matter what. I love traveling abroad, going to Japan and Australia. I love it. I never get tired of it.
