I think, if I had my choice, I would spend all my time in the studio writing, and creating music.

It's just not an image I had ever put out about myself - the bedroom synth guy. The whole thing seemed ridiculous.

I think that there's a proliferation of music that is done entirely in the bedroom for an Internet audience, but there's no way in hell that you could actually kill off a live show, and its importance in the creation of music - it's just impossible.

I think it's become much harder because I'm more afraid of every step I take. I'm more aware of its ramifications, I'm more aware of the less creative aspects of music - like the business-side of things for example.

There is a beauty to touring - to be honest, there's a way that music connects and you really feel the actual reaction of people to the music that you're making, and I feel like if I didn't do that I just wouldn't know, and I don't think my music would be the same.

I want a song that raises the hair on the back of my neck when I sing it live and I want to feel it every time.

After so many years of whispery, DIY vocals, there's this new generation of voices that are really starting to burst through the seams.

Raucous drunken trumpets and instrumentation tend to guide the way you think. They can give you a path to follow lyrically.

I'm swept along by larger forces out of my control.

I think I spent more time on the mellotron than on any other instrument in the studio, and it got to the point where I was like, Well, you can't write an entire album on this instrument. But maybe I would!

My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player. One of my earliest memories is him kind of forcing a guitar on all my brothers and me. You know, You have to practice three hours a day! I hated guitar at the time. I kind of picked up trumpet to spite him.

Often when I find myself listening to music, at least 60 to 70% of it is foreign, so I don't understand a word of it. Melody to me will always be a million times more important than words.
