- Nov 07, 2020

I love Robert Fripp. You know what I really appreciate about Robert Fripp? He always dresses appropriately for the occasion. When he's on stage, he's a Dapper Dan.
- Entwined
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Well, I've been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it's completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that's better and smarter than you are, by using your ears to lead the way.
- Moment

I remember looking at the sky and thinking that the universe is so big and it's all chaos. I call it 'the dark fear.' At any moment, the dark fear could come in.

In regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think human beings have a really broad spectrum of traits, and I almost feel implicated when we say, 'Men are like this, women are like this.' Nobody was telling me, 'Don't get dirty, don't play in the mud, girls don't do that.'
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I'd rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it.
- Just

- Nov 07, 2020
I just love playing guitar, so that's what I'm going to do.
- Common
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Musically, I have more things in common with tons of bands that have no female members.
- Guitar
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm supportive of women, absolutely, and it's so gratifying to have girls come up and say, 'I'm really inspired by your guitar playing.' I mean no disrespect to the sisterhood, but musically I feel more drawn to things like Dirty Projectors, the National and Grizzly Bear.
- Bumper
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Whirlyball is only the most awesome sport on the planet! It's like bumper cars plus lacrosse meets basketball.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always wanted to make music like people write plays, so I was inspired by writers as much as musicians.
- Loved

I was a lusty kid who loved Tennessee Williams.
- I Can
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Guitar is just something I can do. So much of it now is muscle memory, just instinct.

I'm unqualified to do anything other than music.
- Guitar
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A song has a life of its own. It's an autonomous thing, separate from your own experience, almost. And the mere repetition of it means it's subject to change; it means approaching it differently, expressing different emotional aspects of it. It doesn't feel like wallowing.
- Guitar
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing.
- Parents
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think a lot of people who want to be musicians terrify their parents because they don't have a living example of it in their families, and I did. So I always knew that it was possible.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
And if I'm honest about it, I was obsessed with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. This is like '92, right in the throes of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I think I probably wanted to be Kurt Cobain.
- Car
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up in Texas and we used to go to Padre Island, eight hours in the car down to the beach.
- Dad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My dad used to love Steely Dan, the Stones, Jethro Tull and all that. There was always Steely Dan going in my dad's car, but I remember The Royal Scam in particular because it has 'Kid Charlemagne' on it.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of my favourite things about country music is that, at least until recently, you could always count on a solid story, a punchline and a pun. I think it has that in common with hip hop, where they're not afraid of wordplay and I really appreciate that.
- Guitar
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I started playing guitar when I was 12 and probably from that age knew that I wanted to make music and make my own music. Playing with other bands like the Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens was more like an apprenticeship for me than anything.
- My Own
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I only listen to my own music when I'm playing an hour-and-half set each night. I don't put it on recreationally.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been watching a lot of Joan Didion interviews on YouTube. I love her. My drummer has gotten me into looking at Terence McKenna interviews.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To be honest, because there's loud music in my ears probably three hours a day, between sound check and the show, I listen to podcasts more than I listen to music on the road.
- Any
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wrote 'Actor' all on the computer. I didn't touch any instruments until I was in the studio. So while I had all these ornate arrangements, I didn't have any songs.
- My Own
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been so entwined with technology since I was about 15, recording myself and multitracking and producing things on my own.
