I love touring. But it's super nice to have a new reason to play shows that isn't based around that perennial cycle of album/tour/promotion.

If you live up against train tracks, it can make your life a living hell.

Bands-- enough with the crayon face-paint-- you're better than that.

I do feel like at the end of anger I have to have something that grounds it.

Some people never need to let up at all.

I've dreamed about performing songs, songs that don't even exist, as a complete song.

I know that the dream mind is irrational, but I like to think that if I hear something in a dream that's really good, then it's irrational... but it's not crazy.

I actually dream a lot of songs, and I try to be good about voice-memoing ideas.

There's a definite machinery behind everything that a band does, and sometimes it's hard to figure out how far to go in delegating certain responsibilities and staying COMPLETELY DIY.

I think I'd like to see CDs disappear. Too much plastic crap lying around. If I want some music these days, I'm gonna either get as MP3s or on vinyl.

I'm even old-school Instagram. I'm here for your "What did you have to eat today?" I'm fine with that.

I learned a long time ago that some people would rather die than forgive. It's a strange truth, but forgiveness is a painful and difficult process.

I appoint the laziest person to do the hardest job as they'll find the easiest way to do it

Disneyland. The world's biggest people trap, built by a mouse.

Start writing the things that you are reading or that you want to be published doing.

If you can't feed a team with two pizzas, it's too large.

I want to destroy the EU, not Europe! I believe in a Europe of nation-states. I believe in Airbus and Ariane, in a Europe based on cooperation. But I don't want this European Soviet Union.

The imagination is both interpretative and creative in nature.

The terrible sticky thing about truth is if it exists, it's coming for you.

Slowly but surely the sea is freezing over.

Worse than blind leaders of the blind are bland leaders of the bland.
