"There's a contrarian in me that always wants to push against any kind of expectation. If something works, there's a thought in my brain, like, 'No, I'm being told to do that again'. I was in pain. I was pushing the world away."
—Sturgill Simpson on moving to Paris, adopting a stage name, and recording Passage du Desir[1]
