“Because anybody can find their fan base through the Internet.”

You should always choose your associations wisely because people create impressions around the music.

It makes you more choosy and also more receptive to absorb anything for 15 seconds.

I subscribe to the idea that personality is like a muscle.

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.

It’s cool but also a little creepy.

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.

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.

I don’t have to explain anything to anybody.

Damn referees, I’ll miss them less than anybody.

Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.

It is always dangerous to underestimate anybody.

I think people often misunderstand that I work as hard and want things just as badly as anybody else.

But I’ve been there and done that. I’m not trying to prove anything to anybody, and if somebody wants me to come.

I’m not playing for anybody but the guys in this locker room.

Find the one you can talk to, when you can’t talk to anybody else.
