There's a perception that if an artist produces another artist, they're going to imprint on them. But I'm the opposite.

Anything goes. You always find interesting things that way.

There's a perception that if an artist produces another artist, they're going to imprint on them. But I'm the opposite. I want to hear that artist; I don't want to hear me - that's the last thing I want to hear. There are a lot of technical studio things I've learned or figured out, and I feel like I could use those things to help other people with what they're doing.

Growing up, a film was an action film or it was a comedy or it was romantic, but you don't really see such stark lines between genres nowadays.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder what makes music or culture or taste go in certain directions. Who knows what the forces are behind it.

There are certain records that you love because the songs are great, but you don't go to them as an example of great production.

I think trying to be offbeat is the most boring thing possible.
