Love is unconditional and incomprehensible. And I believe it's possible to love absent of mutual respect.

I like residing in abstraction.

One of my strongest memories is my father playing bongos in the living room in Detroit listening to Motown radio. He was this skinny white bald guy, but he was really moved by blues and Motown and funk.

That's really where my heart is, unfortunately - I'm less interested in songwriting and more into just making noise.

I think musicians should stay off television generally.

Fiction has always been a thorn in my side, because I've always wanted to be a writer but I can't seem to really do it.

I'm a very self-conscious person, I think we all are, but I'm especially not very comfortable in my body. I always feel really weird and awkward on the street or on the stage. It has nothing to do with circumstances, it's just an ongoing psychological state, like white noise.
