Vincent: "All you can do is make something that you like and feel proud of and then just hope for the best and try to get out of its way."

Vincent: "In regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful."

Vincent: "I'm unqualified to do anything other than music."

Vincent: "A song has a life of its own. It's an autonomous thing, separate from your own experience, almost. And the mere repetition of it means it's subject to change; it means approaching it differently, expressing different emotional aspects of it. It doesn't feel like wallowing."

Vincent: "I've been so entwined with technology since I was about 15, recording myself and multitracking and producing things on my own."

Vincent: "I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I'd rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it."

Vincent: "Fashion, for me, is anything that's aesthetic and beautiful. Art, food, film. It's something that I appreciate and really like."

Vincent: "I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it."

Vincent: "Well, I've been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it's completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that's better and smarter than you are, by using your ears to lead the way."

Vincent: "Musically, I have more things in common with tons of bands that have no female members."

Vincent: "I started playing guitar when I was 12 and probably from that age knew that I wanted to make music and make my own music. Playing with other bands like the Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens was more like an apprenticeship for me than anything."

Vincent: "I just love playing guitar, so that's what I'm going to do."

Vincent: "Generally my day-to-day is pretty much the same. Just busy and working and on tour. And trying to put on the best show possible every night."

Vincent: "I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing."

Vincent: "I think a lot of people who want to be musicians terrify their parents because they don't have a living example of it in their families, and I did. So I always knew that it was possible."

Vincent: "I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow."

Vincent: "I grew up around a lot of various religions, so it's a part of my consciousness in a way. Everything from heavy Catholicism to followers of Indian spiritual masters to Unitarian universalists - all in one family. Though the family aspect was stronger than any particular dogma."

Vincent: "I only listen to my own music when I'm playing an hour-and-half set each night. I don't put it on recreationally."
