The World's Become A Little Too Mean.

I've Never Conceptualized Much Of What I Write About. Maybe, Once I'm Onto Something, I'll Conceptualize A Finished Record. I Want The Songs To Tie Together And Make Sense Together. I'm Not Like, "oh, I Want To Explore This Idea." That's Just Not How The Creative Process Works For Me. It's More Like Something Strikes Me, Or Finds Me, And Then I Wrestle With It After That. I Don't Sit Back In My Armchair, Like, "what Kind Of Philosophy Can I Explore Today?"

I Think That Hip-hop Is More Of An Individual Effort. That Means You're An Artist From The Streets, They Expect You To Rap About The Streets, Because That's What Happens There.

On Every Bright Eyes Record, There's Some Kind Of Sound Collage That Begins It. Some Of Them Have Dialogue, Some Don't. I Like It Because It Can Kind Of Slow Down The Attention Span A Bit. It's A Way To Draw You In To The Rest Of The Record.

I Swear That I'm Dying Slowly But It's Happening, And If The Perfect Spring Is Waiting Somewhere... Just Take Me There.
