I saw an interview with Jay-Z where he said he didn't write down any of his lyrics, so I tried that.

I like to write early in the morning, like, 5 a.m. If I'm really on my game, I don't have any coffee or stimulants. I'm kind of in a dream state.

There was no indie rock band in the 90s at the level of, like, Grizzly Bear. I listen to their records and it's crazy how good they sound. That really freaks me out.

I don't have a set working style. Some lyrics come really slow, others come in 10 minutes while I'm watching basketball. They're always a surprise to me.

I sometimes try a variance of the drawer trick - [I write it] and then come back to it and see if it blows.

I'm a grown-ass man. I can't be, like, ordering people to put down their phones.
