I'm sort of socially inept, so music is my way to connect to people. It's a means of socializing and having a life. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. I would just make home recordings and play them for myself. And that's not really healthy.

I don't really know where the songs are coming from often. Many of the best things I made up were just off the top of my head.

There's always a chance, a goal to make something different and get it right, finally.

I do play soccer, but it's exhausting in a way.

Things tends to often [consolidate] like Disney. It's the same with music. There's Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young and Patti Smith. There's these three people that everyone seems to agree on. No matter what they like, they seem to like those three.

That's why you go to a nice studio. You can get a magic take. You don't really have to do anything to it.

I like a narrative, even if it's fractured, or kind of psychedelic. But my favorite thing is if I hear words and I close my eyes and the connotations or the image I get in my head, combine with the sound of them - sometimes phonetics. I'm just stringing those together.
