For Me, Songwriting Is Something That I Have To Do Ritually. I Don't Just Wait For Inspiration; I Try To Write A Little Bit Every Day.

We Live In A Pretty Bleak Time. I Feel That In The Air. Everything Is Uncertain. Everything Feels Like Its On The Precipice Of Some Major Transformation, Whether We Like It Or Not.

I Don't Really Believe In Political Art. I Feel In My Heart The Purpose Of Art Transcends Cultural And Class And Politics. I Think Something Like The Sistine Chapel Is Something That Goes Beyond Just Being A Christian Thing. It Transcends Its Christianity And Becomes Sort Of A Universal Beauty. And I Think That's True Of Music And Art And Literature.

The Idea Of Using Media For Expressing Yourself Artistically Is Kind Of Something I Learned From My Mother And My Father. So For Me, I Think Growing Up Wanting To Be An Artist, I Always Imagined Myself Sort Of Crossing Over Or Mixing Media And So It Was A Natural Evolution For Me To Try To Express In A Filmic Way Or In A Visual Way. It Just Kind Of Seems Like A Natural Sort Of Progression For Me In Terms Of What I'm Trying To Do As An Artist.
