Totally. I think things are beautiful when you donâ€™t plan them, and you donâ€™t have any expectations, and youâ€™re not trying to get somewhere in particular. Youâ€™re just enjoying it, and making something because you love it, and love the people that youâ€™re playing with. I guess everything happens as a reason.

The more nervous I am, and the more insane a situation is, the more I love it and get addicted to it. That's why I love playing on stage. And I kind of freak out if I don't get to do it, because it's a big part of my sanity, I think.

A lot of people don't like touring because it's monotonous and you're waiting around a lot but for me it's great. I'm inspired by being in a different town every day - all the people I meet, all the things I see.

I never really planned on playing music. But it was a thing I'd always done, since I was young. So it just carried me away; I never really had to make a plan for it or make any decisions. It just sort of decided on me. And I don't know what the hell I would have done otherwise.

All of my art is suitcase-sized. I always paint in mediums that dry pretty quickly because I've got to throw them in my suitcase and go. And I have so much because of that, because it's what I've always done to pass the time and I like it.

It was an honor to work with Samantha Morton on this Casablanca-esque, silent-film-esque, Americana photobooth Woolworth's hay day period piece of surrealism/ realism/ story time tell-tale-ism, black and white 35 mm film, washed in strange light, over this love hate tune, heartbreak song, life-goes-on lullaby, The Last Goodbye. It's a doorway into the future of the fatal past-tense. Get it?
