I used to play my records aloud until one night my mother was like, "This is too loud. I'm not having it," and so I put on headphones.

I slept on the floor right next to the record player until I was probably 19 years old.

When people would ask me what I’m addicted to, I always said ‘music.’ And while they’d laugh it off like it’s a cliché, I’m actually a complete shopaholic when it comes to records.
