“I am One. I value my uniqueness. If there were more like me I would hope they were small and easy to destroy.”

“I've learned never to wish for people like us. People like us are creepy.”

“In my dream, we were tiny specks in a vast, uncaring universe. I tried to count all the atoms, but I felt infinity staring back at me. And it was terrifying. I realized something. I'm just the vibration of a few atoms that happened to clump together, an impossibly unique combination that will eventually dismantle, and drift apart forever. And then I'll be gone too, into an unimaginable void, where even sadness can't exist.”

“I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.”

“I start songs all the time. If I weren't so lazy, I would finish them. It's like when I have a deadline I have to. I always feel very lucky that I am forced to make records at certain times.
