I think you can move to everything, but with some music you just want to sit still. Like Claude Debussy - I couldn't dance to that.

On my Instagram, lots of people tag me in photos of just dudes with beards and they're like, Oh my god, I met Chet Faker and I'm like, That doesn't even look like me. I feel like I'm experiencing beardism or something.

You can turn something into art just because of the way you tell people to look at it.

Sometimes people can get shitty, but you won't last in music industry by taking things personally.

I think it's really important to not talk about how you're going to release something until you've finished it. People are like, What are we going to make? What are we going to do with it? and it's just like, I don't know, we're just making music. Then we'll talk. You can't always write something you're happy with you can't force it.

My album to me is something, but anyone who buys it, it's whatever it is to them. I don't like telling people what specifics are of the record, because that could ruin it as an experience for someone else.

I've done a bunch of collaborations where it goes well and you finish it, but then you're kind of like, I just don't like it. And it sits there. It can be awkward, but a real musician understands that you're not always going to make what you want it to be. You can't just polish everything into perfection.

This album is my life, and my life's really not that interesting. It's not not interesting, but I'm just some dude just like everyone else. But by recording it in an album format, it becomes a product. That's the idea of Built on Glass it's the relationship between my personal life and the music I make.
