I try not to talk about something unless it's something I love. But if it's something that really annoys me, I fixate on it, learn something about it and then, when I'm onstage, it comes out.

I'm just kind of interested in focusing on what I'm interested in and just kind of solidifying it, or at least experimenting, or actualizing some of the experiments that I've had in my head for years, either filmicly or with audio.

Science gives you an understanding of the physical world, and it increases the capacity for fascination.

When I'm at the piano, and I'm improvising some song about something, it usually oscillates between factual, absurd, and sincere.

If it's physical pain, you just deal with it the best way you can. But if it's more emotional, I don't know. I just try my best to feel it, take it in, and just allow myself to go through whatever may actually come from it. And then a certain amount of it, you can use to transform it through art, which is the healthy way of dealing with it, as well.

If I can learn a couple of phrases in Italian but do mostly weird, absurd music things, people will like it.

When in doubt, zoom out.
