“My dad family’s are from Spain and because of the civil war he had gone to this school in Switzerland, and he loved it, so I was sent there. I was probably the only kid without a trust fund. I was a little bit disgusted by the whole, go to the right school, get your foot in the door vibe — so I just kind of hit the eject button. I left early and studied music at super-cheap colleges.”

This quote just made me fall completely in love with Julian. FFS, where can I find someone like that?

And this quote:

“I always go nuts when people say that life started in Africa,” he tells me at one point. “That doesn’t make any logical sense to me. At all. I mean, sure, maybe some ... six million years ago an ape-type two-legged creature walked in Africa, sure, but ... you know how the East Coast of America was populated ... and then people just stay on coastlines . . .” There are huge pauses while he mentally travels the world. “You can just see how kind of India, China, all that just seemed to, like ... . just looking at people’s faces and populations and ... I’m totally derailing here.”

OMG THE CUTENESS. <3 I need to see him on tour RFN. There is no other way about this. I'm asking for a train ticket to NYC in January and a concert ticket. If he doesn't do a semi-widespread tour, I WILL resort to extreme measures.

I just needed to get that out. Ciaooooo.
