“I hate Panic! at the Disco. I’ve never actually heard their music, so I don’t actually hate them so much as resent them. Or rather, resent what they stand for. Or rather, resent what I believe that they stand for. Or rather, resent my perception of other people’s projections of what they stand for. Or rather, myself.
“I hate myself, is what I’m trying to say.”
—Michelle Nguyen in Welcome to Night Vale (transcript here)
“Been getting a lot of asks for writing advice this tour. My response is always: read a lot; write a lot; enjoy both; allow both to be bad.”
—Jeffrey Cranor (@happierman) July 23, 2014
“The first time Jeffrey [Cranor] and I sat down to talk about the show [Welcome to Night Vale], I said, ‘I feel like we can do anything with this show—like, we can get as weird as we want—as long as we have very strict continuity.’ Because then you’re building a world, and it’s a world that people can believe in. It doesn’t matter how weird that world is and what the rules are, as long as they’re consistent. I think it’s helped people feel more at home, because it feels like a real place, even if the rules make no sense.”
—Joseph Fink (in an interview here)
