I have to be able to see the thing that's going on that I'm writing about, or else it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Oh, a passing, skeptical kind of interest. I'm a hammer-and-nails kind of guy.

The idea of songwriting is a transformative thing, and what I do with songwriting is take situations that are quite ordinary and transform them in some way. Apart from things like the murder ballads, the songs I write, at their core, are quite ordinary human concerns, but the process of writing about them transforms them into something else.

My music has to do with beauty, and it's intended to, if not lift the spirits, then be a kind of a balm to the spirits.

When I start writing songs, and they come easily, I'm always very suspicious. That usually means they're reminding me of something I've already done before. When the songs become unsettling, and I feel anxious about what I'm doing, that usually means it's going to be more interesting later on when we actually record the stuff.

The body becomes the carrier for the work. It's not really about the physical body it really becomes the apparatus that carries and moves the work. I don't really consider the body as much I look at it as a tool.
