Sometimes you have to disconnect to stay connected. Remember the old days when you had eye contact during a conversation? When everyone wasn't looking down at a device in their hands? We've become so focused on that tiny screen that we forget the big picture, the people right in front of us.

Sometimes I feel a bit socially disconnected in terms of being a little bit gullible about how people interrelate emotionally.

Sometimes you lose sight of what's going on around you.

Have you ever felt like a phone call that's been disconnected?

There's a kind of immediacy that comes with being constantly connected that I don't really relate to in my generation.

It used to be that I was always paranoid or a loser or something so there's usually something that you seem to associate yourself with at one time or another.

I think if a personal connection seems far off, I have to work and find a way to bring it closer to me, or I don't feel grounded.

Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.

This happens to me all the time: I think I'm working on one thing, but this other thing, whether I want it to or not, keeps coming through.

When I wasn't working I didn't know what to do with myself and sort of didn't exist, in a way, when I wasn't working, so I was like two different people. I am not like that anymore.
