I don't really write songs anymore.

I don't want the big flashing lights and red carpet, like, 'Here comes another Bon Iver album!' I just want it to be my bedroom-y thing. But that'll take a while to figure out.

I'm a creature of comfort.

Apple is not thinking different anymore, they are getting worse by the day. They’ve become bottom-dollar and you can see that transition easily.

Even the indie rock world – which is supposed to be about truth and independence from corporate mindfulness or something – is totally subject to the paraphernalia of celebrity.

A lot of people change their band names because they’re looking for a change of atmosphere.

I didn’t grow up with indie rock – I mean, I listened to bands that are considered indie rock, but I think that term is dead and uninteresting.

I’m not with anybody, I don’t have time for dating. Not to get too personal, but it’s weirdly harder to meet new people now. But for the first time in my life since I was a little kid, I’m not so concerned about it.

I just feel like why spend all my time doing something that makes me unhappy just to spend my time off thinking about how I have to go back to a job. It’s such a vicious cycle that people get stuck in. But I’m also very lucky. I can’t sit here too eagerly and say all that.

Some songs, some nights won’t do anything for you, but people enjoy them and that’s the job. The magic is finding those places to stand in the song and gain perspective.
