I might just write a novel next. I don't know!
I like the anonymity that directors can have about their films.
I enjoy singing my songs in front of people. I enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.
I've written some great things. That's a gift, but there's consequences. Yeah, you get this great work, but you suffer. You really, really suffer.
I don't know anything and neither do you.
I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know.
With my art, it's the one thing that I know will outlive me and outlive my feelings. It will outlive my depressive seasons.
Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.
My grandfather was smart and had a whole lot of pride. He didn't speak a terrible amount, but you could tell there was a ton on his mind - like a quiet acceptance of how life had turned out.
Of course awards matter.
A friend of mine jokes that I have a painstaking royalty complex. Like maybe I was a duke in a past life.
When you are happy, you enjoy music, when you are sad, you understand lyrics
It's a bad religion to be in love with someone who could never love you.
Why see the world / when you got the beach?
