I'm actually a pretty upbeat person outside of playing music.

When You're young, you get sad, and you get high.

I don't think, that all my stuff could've been records. Some, maybe. The ones that I really wanted to be records, those are the ones that are going into the box.

They don't make coats for this kind of cold

When I'm in New York, I just want to walk down the street and feel this thing, like I'm in a movie.

There is nothing wrong with loving the crap out of everything. Negative people find their walls. So never apologize for your enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.

It's hard to view myself sometimes as even in the same league as other musicians, mainly because there's so much music before me. I feel overinformed by different styles and different possibilities.
