“For me, it’s always best to just push everything out and just disappear by myself alone somewhere – and it’s kind of like a need of mine.”

I’ve definitely had a few moments in my life where I’ve seen somebody and it’s blown me away at first sight

But it’s a blast and I wouldn’t trade the opportunity for all the ice cream sandwiches in the universe.

In my opinion, there is a huge lack of imaginative, unconventional music being created by artists today and what little there is, goes widely unappreciated by the masses

Someone invent a NO LIFE alert so you can push a button and tons of people show up and hang out with you.

Thankfully, I’ve been able to retain 98% of it which I never really expected, so I’m very grateful to be able to control what I can.

It’s a very happy productive place.

Hang on for dear life. You’ve got a better grip than you realize.

Writing music is like tasting the sky. It keeps me dreaming in color.

There is no old Adam Young, there is no new Adam Young, merely different colors and different brushstrokes over the same canvas.

So for me it’s very good to just be able to re-charge and just disappear and escape from reality and that’s usually when I write most of my lyrics and my songs.

You work so hard at something to make sure that it’s very pure and very genuine and very steadfast to who you are, so creative control for me is a big one.

Unearthing buried bits of nostalgia from deep within and spreading the broken, jagged pieces out in front of you like a display of junk at a garage sale.

I’m so fascinated with audio gear and recording techniques and whatnot, it’s pretty mesmerizing.

Usually, whatever’s in front of me is what I’m focused on and it’s 100% on that and then I kind of move from one thing to the next.

And I’m like, “I don’t know. That’s just the way I am.” So if I found the perfect girl she would totally get that and say, “You’re quiet, and that’s the way I love you.

It’s very cool for me to be able to get in an airplane and fly for fourteen hours
