I hate picking favourite books. I usually tend to stay away from all the 'top record' and 'favourite song' and 'favourite book', and I just think it doesn't do any good for anybody.

You decide if you're ready for something. It can come in the guise of, "Oh, I don't think I like this."

So break me to small parts, let go in small doses, but spare some for spare parts.

I'm much more into someone who is telling stories than somebody who is writing a record about their breakup. It's just more interesting for me.

I think to me, all songs are stories.

I write a tiny fraction of what I used to write. My only job used to be to just write songs, and that was a really nice job to have, but only a tiny amount of people heard those songs, and I didn't make a living from it, and eventually I begged my parents to let me move back into my room.

I don't really make records chronologically.
