“Imagine if somebody was like, ‘Who’s the next Timothee Chalamet?’ It’s like, he’s currently Timothee Chalamet.”

It’s always important to be checking in with people you love.

I have nothing against reverb.

Our mom cooks well, and we cook poorly. We try.

The way that we tried to approach every piece of music is, if the song had a brain, it would be aware of its catalog.

People were like, ‘he’s collaborating with Taylor Swift’ and I was like, ‘I am?’ I think she’s wonderful. Her songwriting has inspired me for years.

You go to a truck stop and there are key chains with names on them, and there’s no Finneas. There’s no Billie. They’re little things, but as a kid, you just feel weirdly ostracized.

I really value just being able to go out and grab a coffee or going to a movie and not have anyone recognize me.

You know, that’s kind of always been our philosophy: not letting the place that we are get in the way of making great music.

Kids have tools to do what I’m doing.

I have always loved Ben Folds, he’s like an idol of mine, a hero of mine.

When I started, I felt that there was this incredible amount of doubt of my ability as a producer.

I think it’s really easy to be the altruistic hero of your own narrative and story.

We were a very crunchy, sort of hippie-dippy family.

I don’t really have any interest in recording at places that are institutionalized for recording.

All my favorite songs ever are love songs. Probably topped by ‘The Luckiest’ by Ben Folds.

I stopped telling people what lyrics meant to them when I saw them tattoo it on them, because it clearly meant much more to them than it ever did to me.

I’m try-sexual. I try anything that’s sexual.

My choices are like my fingerprints, they make me unique.

If I talk to a girl, it’s assumed that I’m having a scene with her. If I don’t, then it’s assumed that I’m gay.

One of the identities of good people is, that they look at the right things on a person more in comparison to wrong things.

I am methodical to the point of being obsessive-compulsive. And I have always been good at multi-tasking.

I’m an independent woman and a feminist.

I definitely feel Russian inside, even when I’m in America I feel Russian.

Communists are frustrated capitalists.
