People say, "How do you write songs?" I say, "Patience." I may have a track that's hot, but no words. I'll just let it sit for years, because I know they're going to meet. They'll find it.

If interviews are just interviews or if music is just music, why are we even doing it? You only get so many hours in a lifetime, man.

But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music.

Genetics do play a role in how you consciously or subconsciously manifest your true self.
