Raucous drunken trumpets and instrumentation tend to guide the way you think. They can give you a path to follow lyrically.

I love the community and the entertainment too much. I'm used to it - it's what I saw first.

The more I know, the more I realise I don't know. And the more I realise I'll never truly understand.

I think that there's a proliferation of music that is done entirely in the bedroom for an Internet audience, but there's no way in hell that you could actually kill off a live show, and its importance in the creation of music - it's just impossible.

I do feel like my music, in some weird way, is probably better suited for cinema than for anything else - I can't really explain, other than I think that music has been mostly inspired often by soundtracks.

I could probably spend the next five years reworking an album from ten years ago, if given the chance, to make it better - make it best, so to speak.

I put myself in the studio and I really made sure to say, 'Well, if I would normally reach for a trumpet, why don't I reach for the next nearest instrument instead?'
