“Writing songs is performing, on a small scale, what it means to be a being that exists as a temporary eruption of thought and feeling. We're fireworks, right? This beautiful glittering explosion that's dying as soon as it starts living. Once I understood that, it felt like there was no more meaningful thing to do with my life than create beauty with an expiration date. Art like us.”
