I am not opposed to doing a side project, like Death Cab for Cutie, where it's completely different from my own band.

I have a theory that you can decide to make whatever day it is a good day.

The Beatles are the most credible band in the history of music.

When life gives you the opportunity to check off a thing on the bucket list, you have to check them.

I live in Los Angeles, which is the second most polluted city in the world, and I wake up in the morning to dirt all over my window.

I'm in an odd position because I write across so many genres for so many people and they all influence me, and if I'm going to write as honest an album as possible, it's going to be layered.

I'm actually introverted and shy.
