I don't think I'm the best lyricist; it's hard for me to express feelings through words.

I really like to think of each record as its own thing. So, for sure, but I hate the idea of being stuck in anything. Like I want to do a Hawkwind-style record too, or a noise rock record or a hardcore record. Why not, you know? I would just not want to keep heading too far in one direction, without pulling off and going the other way. That is what is fun for me.

I'm a pretty young person, but I think you need a little life experience to actually say something.

Trying to say something is all you got in life.

There's nothing harder than making a mellow, clean record. It's really scary. I can see why people would never want to do it.

What excites me is the idea of doing a record that's pretty clean and focused on songs. I've rushed a lot with previous albums and there's not a rush now - it's not a race.

Everyone uses noise as a crutch sometimes - I've totally done it. But when you make a good-sounding record there's nothing there but you.
