It was a difficult second record. I had moments where I couldn't write; had moments where I was writing lots. It was just a massive learning process for me.

The goal was always to do something that felt human but was 100 percent electronic.

I just want to write another record that's as good or better than the one I've already made. That's my main goal, to follow up stronger than before.

Combining sounds that are from another universe with the classic songwriting structures never gets old for me.

One who has imagination without learning has wings without feet.

The crucial discovery was made that, in order to become painting, the universe seen by the artist had to become a private one created by himself.

I just love music. I love writing songs. It's not even a job; it's a gift. I'm waiting for someone to kick me out of the party because I snuck in here, and I keep thinking somebody's going to figure out that I have no clue. Turns out that most of them have even less of a clue.

I decided at 40 I was wasting entire chunks of my brain and didn't want to blow my one chance on Earth. I'm glad I made that decision. Writing is largely about time, while visual art is largely about space. Sometimes, as with film, you can hybridize, but I think it's basically the space part of my brain wanting equal footing with the time part.
