Interview starts around 54:00. Highlights:
On The Cure's Influence: "The Cure are the reason that I'm in a band at all today. I am so grateful to be alive in the glow of the here"
Artistic Integrity: "[The Cure] hasn't really kind of bent very much to whatever the prevailing mood of the day is and has succeeded on its own terms"
Emotional Weight of Music: "There is a heaviness in the emotional content of the record which makes the record feel sort of bigger than it is".
Reflections on Aging: "Turning 60 was actually quite a thing for me. I honestly really didn't think I'd get to 50"
Self-Discovery through Music: "It's taken me a long time to find the right set of words and the right way to sing them in order to communicate to myself actually primarily how I feel about pretty much everything at the moment"
