"I never show anything to anybody until I've finished it"

-- Irwin Shaw

“I think we get on with living our lives like everybody else does. Where we're at in music is trying to explain what's going around us either directly or by analogy and trying to create a parallel, an analog, sometimes musical, sometimes dramatic, that might be truthful.”

“Is anarchism possible? The failure of attempts to attain freedom does not mean the cause is lost.”
“Never forget a Favor, Never forgive a Slight!”
“I grew up in front of these people, and now they are seeing me as an 'older' young man.”
“I would struggle to write for just my own voice as it would be pretty limiting on what my tracks are capable of sounding like, so being open to collaboration is crucial for what I do. The best thing is simple: just getting the finished version of a track that sounds incredible, from when it was just a melody in my head. Seeing that executed is sick. There's not really too much downside as I write by myself so I'm only sharing the part I'm comfortable sharing. It's all good.”
