As A Kid You Learn That There Are Thinkers And There Are Philosophers And There Are Theologian, And I'd Hear Little Bits Of The Ideas That These People Pursued Or Developed Or Created And I'd Be Really Excited. Then I'll Start To Read It And I Think, "wait A Minute, This Is A Rabbit Hole. This Isn't A Gateway Or A Ticket To Anything Except Itself."

More From Will Oldham

I Do Not Want A Personal Relationship With My Fans. Or To Do Anything That Encourages Them To Think They Have One With Me. They Can Have A Personal Relationship With My Songs. That's Fine, But They Don't Know Me.

You Make The World - With Enough Strength And Enough Luck You Make The World That You Live In. If You Accept That There's Participation To Be Done And An Existence To Be Had - I Tend To Think There Is Only One Way I Want To Go Through This Existence And That's With My Eyes Open And My Chest Out.

My Dream Many Years Ago Would've Been To Continue To Write And Record Songs In Record/album Form For Years To Come, But Now Records Aren't What They Were Then - And So It Doesn't Actually Feel Very Good To Make A Record Of Songs.

A Record Is Something That Isn't Real Or True. It's Like Cinema. It's A Construction Of Something Hyper-real And Surreal And Unreal All At The Same Time. You Make A Space That Doesn't Really Exist. One Of The Big Joys Of Being In This Line Of Work Is Building The Recorded Versions Of The Songs.

Every Recording Session And Tour Is A Very Valuable Time To Me In Terms Of Getting To Spend Time With The Musicians - Whether They're Friends And Family Or People I've Just Met - Because I Don't Have A Job Where I Get To Interact With People Everyday.
