“When you're writing about difficult things and darker issues, it's nic...” — Jens Lekman Quote

“When you're writing about difficult things and darker issues, it's nice to offer some sort of light at the end of the tunnel. Some sense of hope. Sometimes, the best way to do that is by offering it in the music, so that you can dance your way out of the darkness.”

“I think sometimes when I sit down to write a song, it doesn't come out naturally, but when you are writing an email to someone, especially if you are writing to a stranger, you write much more spontaneously, and it's freer.”

“I need to write a sitcom, but something with warmth, not one where the dad comes home and he's treated like an idiot.”

“Certain things happen in life that force you to take a pause and priorities are constantly changing. You're meeting different people and things don't always go as planned, but in the best way possible.”

“Everything I've done has had purpose and has been passionate and has been executed in the best way that I knew how. Maybe that's not the perfect way. Maybe that's not the easiest way. But it's the best way I knew how to do it.”

“I hope it isn't exclusively true, but I often find that collaboration is the best way... to reach my highest musical place. Because I get so inspired by another good musician; I feed off that.”
