"The most amazing show I’ve seen over the past year was Sufjan Stevens’s final performance of The Age of Adz in Prospect Park. It was authentically psychedelic and a truly transcendental experience – I looked around and everyone in the crowd was smiling and completely awestruck. Stevens’s music is largely about fear, but on stage he gives a fearless presentation. You can see his strength in overcoming that panic."
"He is amazing. And what a wonderful human being that guy is. And that’s the thing. When I see people doing what they love and knowing who they are, what a privilege. What a privilege to see him doing well, and to know him. And he’s just so grounded, and just so lovely. He is the most scatterbrained person I’ve ever met in my life. He’ll lose everything in a day; I mean the most important things, he could lose his head. His glasses, everything he needs, he’ll lose and then he’ll still keep going."
