“It’s cool but also a little creepy.”

So I wanted to create soundscapes that are evocative of places that only exist in your head – that’s where the fun, psychedelic stuff happens anyway.

Like the idea that every night might be the night before the world ends.

The Internet really does create this dimension around the music that’s always in relation to what else is happening at the moment.

There’s no real template to follow these days for what a band should and shouldn’t be – bands are just becoming these weird little Internet avatars that you either follow or download or interact with in some removed way.

When you completely extract yourself from anything familiar.

I think the Internet has a way of coaching you into this state of mind where you think that every step you make needs to completely supersede the last.

And we use it to read album reviews and watch kitten videos… not to put those two things in the same light!

There’s something really fun and spooky about that teenage feeling of narcissism or indestructibility.

But all you can do is ignore the annoying hum of the machine and focus on making art that makes you excited to be alive.

Because anybody can find their fan base through the Internet.

You start reverting back to that state of mind where you’re having conversations with yourself, and that’s where the weirdest and most honest ideas come from.

Memory is just as much of an instrument as anything else in music.

I don’t mind that I’ve created an identity around what I do.

Let alone 15 minutes – to decide what you think about it.

And sometimes you have to let it go limp and detach yourself from any associations.

Is my music indicative of a caffeine-surged green liquid? Probably not.

It may be true that artists adopt a flamboyant appearance, but it’s also true that people who look funny get stuck with the arts.

Masturbation is not only an expression of self-regard: it is also the natural emotional outlet of those who…have already accepted as inevitable the wide gulf between their real futures and the expectations of their fantasies.

Healing in a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.

It’s difficult to wear such high Louboutins and also freestyle rap.

Our bread is not only the Word of God, our meat is not only to do His will, our bread is also…the difficulties that are in our way.

I need forgiveness for my sins, but I need also deliverance from the power of sin… I appreciate the blessed fact of God’s forgiveness, but I want something more than that: I want deliverance. I need forgiveness for what I have done, but I need also deliverance from what I am.

In the first three years of life, the foundations of physical and also of psychic health are laid. In these years, the child not only increases in size but passes through great transformations.

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.
