There's something in life that's cool, it's relatively cheap, and fun, and populist. Even when it's elitist.

If a voice is just too nice, without an edge, it kinda all flows by. You forget it. You don't listen to the lyrics.

I don't know if you look back on your life and just see successes, but probably the first things that pop up are the regrets.

I think it's just entertainment for people that are interested in the form. To sing along to and be psyched by.

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.

It's normally in the morning, just playing around. And I'm not saying everything I make is great, but that's what I do. I can't even remember how I wrote stuff.
