I'm the worst at favourites! I don't have one - I love all my children, I love them all equally.

Sometimes you get really bitter about how the prettiest images don't typically end up attached to the most interesting music. But I just take that as a challenge to try to do something cool.

Clearly, things are definitely changing in big ways as far as the way we consume music, listen to music, and what we expect from music.

I do feel like the hardest thing is to do something simple and tap into whatever remains of our common language rather than cultivating your own willfully esoteric vocabulary.

I feel like the world is super different now than it was in 2009. And to get at something that's somewhat darker, harsher, rougher, and a bit more challenging feels right.

I'm super interested in visual, and I love that being in a band can be as much about making an image as it is about making a sound.

I think certain people would be moved to be nostalgic about America's glory days, when the music set the tone for the cultural conversation and popular musicians had this absurd level of authority.

Sometimes when you're on tour, it feels like you're living the same day over and over again.

The idea of letting a recording be a moment in time appealed to me. With digital recording, it's easy to create a perfect text of whatever song you have.

It's a weird job because making music or writing a song is a personal thing... and it kind of has to be. You can always tell when people are faking.

no matter how ugly the world gets or how stupid it shows me it is, I always have faith

A poet is someone who can use a single image to send a universal message.

Money or even power can never yield happiness unless it be accompanied by the goodwill of others.

I never regret anything... I just lie about it or change the story.

No sooner do we think we have assembled a comfortable life than we find a piece of ourselves that has no place to fit in.

When I was 15, I did not know nothing about what concerned the world of music.

When you give yourself away you find that a new and more real self has somehow been given to you.

I think the main change is the fact there are so many women involved on the set now.

Sit with those who constantly repent, for they have the softest hearts.
