real book sleep
It was an hour and a half plane ride, so I slept. I try to sleep because that's probably the only time I get to get my real sleep. When I can't sleep I read books or watch movies.
art ideas knowing
I like the idea of having a calm, quiet room to work on my [art] while knowing that outside there's noise and a lot happening. It's reassuring to know the 'everyday' continues even though inside the studio you feel so disconnected from it.
ends bounds temporary
Everything is temporary. Everything is bound to end.
song distance writing
Sometimes you're trapped in writing songs and you don't have enough distance from what you do anymore and you need the talent and the years of other people to come and jump in.
new-york nice home
I'm very attached to Paris because I have a base there and am also recording there, but New York is home to me when I'm in the U.S., because it's nice to have a bed to go back to.
regret thinking sometimes
I think many experiences are bound to be failures, and sometimes I regret them before they even happen.
regret thinking very-good
I think it's very good to have regrets, to learn how to live with them.
believe i-believe enough
I believe that the beauty of repetition is something that is not explored enough yet.
home planes train
I'm always on a train or a plane, so wherever I happen to be is home.
new-york writing
I spend a lot of time writing in New York.
