My entire education in music was in reading interviews with bands like Stereolab and finding out about Brazilian music or a Romanian composer. You expose yourself to what people you look up to admire.

Musicians and artists are not... it's not like politicians or something where you can't really affect them. There's not like this separate caste system where it's like, I'm the musician, you're the audience. Never the two shall meet. It was a case where it was like, Hey, you know what? I'm on your level, man.

I think people are intimidated by me, and I don't know why. Sometimes even my own bandmates can be intimidated, or irritated, by me.

I am asexual. A-sexual. I read somewhere, maybe on Facebook, where somebody said something like, I heard Bradford was gay, but then I heard he was bi. Then somebody wrote, No, I heard he was asexual. And then somebody said, That's bullshit - he totally hit on my friend after a show.

People say 'I don't want to die alone!' But you know what, honestly? I don't want to die with a bunch of people looking at me.

I'm a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people.

I don't have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it's really awful.

You're always as a musician trying to shock yourself or create music that's maybe even too weird for your own taste. In my case it's kind of weird because I started out being known more for ambient things and ambiguous music, but what's experimental for me is the more traditional structure. For me, experimenting involves traditionalism.

A lot of bands wanna do something new all the time and never repeat themselves, but I'm not so interested in that. If I feel like I can do it better the second time, I'll give it another shot.

I don't think you should make music to make music, just to show that you can. That's the opposite of vitality.

The sober guy is always going to have this air of arrogance or self-righteousness, but it's not my intention. I just knew that if I drank, I'd have a drinking problem.
