I've been getting plenty off my chest. Sometimes I get too much off my chest and I regret it.

We care if people like what we did. If you're just making records for yourself, why put them out and do all these interviews and do touring? I'm a huge music fan, and this is what I do with my artistic time. It's all I really do, except hang out with my family. I value human relationships, and it's a way for me to interact with the world and feel like I'm part of something.

If you want to be negative about the whole thing you can say all guitar bands after the Beatles were just a waste of time because the Beatles were the best. I think it's far better to give new records a try.

Most people want to be seen or heard. You want to shine. That's my way of shining.

Family is the best. I can honestly say, it's a gift that is beyond making art. I didn't know that when I got into it.

Berlin is just an affordable European city that's supposed to be cool. There's nothing too deep about it.

I just don't think people listen. I mean, they can't listen to a whole album closely without checking their iPhone or wanting to skip to their favorite song, or putting something else on, practically. That's why the zone out is a good thing.
