I just love playing guitar, so that's what I'm going to do.

I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.

I've been watching a lot of Joan Didion interviews on YouTube. I love her. My drummer has gotten me into looking at Terence McKenna interviews.

Well, I've been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it's completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that's better and smarter than...

Life can be challenging and sad... but music is the easy part.

I've always wanted to make music like people write plays, so I was inspired by writers as much as musicians.

I'm unqualified to do anything other than music.

I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I'd rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it.

I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it.

I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing.
