When I was 20, political music was the uncoolest thing on earth. But when Bush got elected, that was the first time I started actually reading the news.
If travel is searching and home what’s been found, I’m not stopping. I’m going hunting.
In 2008, I was more just thinking about using the touchscreen for writing the songs. From there I started thinking about how I visualised music.
Love is a two way dream.
People are always going to need physicality; they’re going to want to meet other people even more. I’ve got faith in the physical angle. People have their needs. They won’t forget about them.
