It's important to face down your demons.

Music is the only thing in this world, with the exception of sneezing and looking at the sunset, that takes you to a place that's above the mundane. Everything else is just bullshit.

Books stay with me and have shaped me and made huge impacts on my life.

I have my share of insecurities, hopes and fears. My music is my way to rearrange the world according to my own hopes.

A lot of people say I wouldn't have a down day, but you look at the music and there's real melancholy.

I find pleasure in things that are simple.

What we value about music and literature are the moments that they create in our minds when we encounter them.
