I had to have the record literally taken away from me. I am such a perfectionist.

You can't show somebody what it's like to experience loss, but you can soundtrack it and help them experience their own loss. I am so lucky to have this venue to be able to say and talk about all the stuff I've been through.

Drugs are fine for you alone at home, but when it comes to being a family, which a band is, it just messes everything up.

I think that when people download the record they're kind of missing out on part of the experience, because it's really meant to be an immersive experience.

It's this funny thing now: You sign up to be a musician because you want to write music, but you don't spend your time writing music. Instead, you go around the world selling the music you've already made.

If I play Coachella, it's sponsored by a company - that's corporate, too. But we're playing it because we're getting paid and we want to be a part of the festival.

The touring band is DIIV, and the songs are always written with them in mind. But the new record is going to be more "me."
