I'm a big fan of new production techniques and new sounds. That's kind of what has been my focus out here; making sure that the songs can stand away from the production, however it's produced.

I always try to hit a few areas when I'm making a record; I want the sounds to be experimental and exploratory, I want the drumming to be distinctive, and I want my voice to be able to shine through.

You can communicate by responding with your body or with a hand clap, with a laugh or with a smile, with non-verbal communication.

My sound is super hybrid; the acoustic sounds are there and the electronic sounds are there.

I like to highlight people's superpowers.

A lot of poems seem, in some sense, to pull the outside world into the interior. They aren't perhaps emotion recollected in tranquillity but perception recollected in interiority.

Visionaries see the "impossible" as the inevitable.

Boxing is the only sport where you have the audience coming right up to you and saying, "You Stink." And you got to deal with that. It's like being in front of the lions.
