I try not get too self-aware when writing lyrics.

Actual patriotism has to do with loving a place enough to try and improve it.

Whenever you do anything or say anything, you're opening yourself up to criticism. But that's okay.

The idea of dancing to bad house music is something I could never get behind.

There's the idea that you have to know how to solve the world's problems in order to feel that something is morally wrong. I'm always back and forth between optimism and depression about the situation.

I always find live shows on film kind of boring. Even my favorite ones, I kinda zone out for most of it. It's just so different seeing a band in the flesh and then watching a film of it, even if you have a hundred cameras and it's shot from every angle. There's just a communal, visceral thing that never translates very well.

I think filmmakers all secretly wanna be musicians and all musicians secretly wanna be filmmakers.
