As a fan of Kanye West, working with him is insane Picture Quote #1

I don’t really write songs anymore Picture Quote #1

I’m a creature of comfort Picture Quote #1

Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I’m sick of being like everyone else, because I’m not Picture Quote #1

Irony is based on insecurity; people like to not like things because they don’t understand them Picture Quote #1

I’m just living in Eau Claire, not really leaving for much. I go to the farmers market, go to the studio, go home and play with my cats. I don’t know if I’ve ever been this happy, which is really awesome Picture Quote #1

I could go on and on and on about how we use the word ‘place’ in so many different ways. About how somebody might ask you ‘Where you at?’ And they’re not asking where are you sitting, where are you living, they’re asking: ‘How are you doing? Picture Quote #1

I’m really honored that Bon Iver gives me a platform to do whatever I want, but there’s only so much time you can spend digging through yourself before you become insular. I’m not in a hurry to go back to that temperature Picture Quote #1

The way I see it is that I grew up with a good set of values, but it was never too strict. I was always encouraged to be a free-thinking individual. I spent the first five years out of high school trying to make it work in Eau Claire, then I had to leave because there wasn’t enough going on in town Picture Quote #1

Just in general as a person, not necessarily as a songwriter, being in cities wasn’t the right fit. I couldn’t escape and be in the woods in 10 minutes if I needed to. I like that in Eau Claire, I can walk to a bar or a coffee shop, and there’s city-ish things, but I can also drive and in eight minutes be at my parents’ land outside of town Picture Quote #1

There’s a large opportunity for Bon Iver to be a special thing, even from a business standpoint - just trying to do cooler things. Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I’m sick of being like everyone else, because I’m not Picture Quote #1

I’ve stolen music before, I don’t know anyone who hasn’t. But if you’re gonna do that, I want you to be able to have an opportunity to know the real lyrics because I really hate it when people put up wrong lyrics online Picture Quote #1

Apple is not thinking different anymore, they are getting worse by the day. They’ve become bottom-dollar and you can see that transition easily Picture Quote #1

But in any situation with long love, I don’t think it ever goes away fully. You just sort of learn where to keep it Picture Quote #1

You never have to change your scene because you’re always comfortable with evolving Picture Quote #1

The amount of people that I feel like... I’m not being self-demeaning, but I actually feel like I’m not as cool as them, you know what I mean? Picture Quote #1

I’m not trying to say something super complicated. I allow myself to say certain things that mean a lot to me Picture Quote #1

I’m just happy and proud to be playing music every day. Recognition is really cool, but it can also be kind of scary Picture Quote #1

Even the indie rock world - which is supposed to be about truth and independence from corporate mindfulness or something - is totally subject to the paraphernalia of celebrity Picture Quote #1

There are decent people that I know who don’t know how to treat their partner. It’s been built up so hard and so high that people are afraid Picture Quote #1

I don’t want the big flashing lights and red carpet, like, ‘Here comes another Bon Iver album!’ I just want it to be my bedroom-y thing. But that’ll take a while to figure out Picture Quote #1

Indie rock is just as susceptible - if not more susceptible - to all the gross things about people becoming total ass clowns in music, and only worrying about money and image. I’m not interested in being a part of that Picture Quote #1

I don’t find inspiration by just sitting down with a guitar anymore. I lost that. I started being so interested in other kinds of music Picture Quote #1
