It's not like lighting candles and smoking a joint. Which is? Which is like, all the sadness and isolation that comes with it. That's why I have so much disappointment toward a lot of the way that film and television has portrayed music and songwriting: They're missing the most exciting part. You feel like you spend your life trying to share things with people, at the expense of sharing things with people in your actual life, because you're trying to share with people as a broad concept. I'd imagine that can be a little isolating. Not, like, crafting it better and better and better. And so it's about putting yourself in situations where you can access it. You have it, and you access it or you don't. I don't think it's, like, a skill that you can get better and better at. I like bringing you back to that, because I don't think that in music or songwriting there's any sense of professionalism. That right there immediately decides all the deeper, weird feelings about leaving your house. Don't make music with frequencies that no one will ever hear. Don't make food with ingredients that no one would ever taste. You go to any big studio, you're gonna be listening to the music you're making through speakers that literally no consumer could ever afford.

It's not like I think everyone has to work that way, but it's about knowing yourself. Why is that? Jack Antonoff: ItвЂ™s where I've had the most success.
