If you want to promote anything, all the work that you put into it is basically promoting the idea of it so that people will go for it. And if they don't go for it, you can't institute it. You can't do it.

The meetings can be a lot of fun or they can be frustrating.

The roughest part for me when I'm writing a song is staring at a blank page. Where am I going from here? If you're a songwriter, you have to do that every time you start a song.

If for instance, in a board meeting, if you have an idea, it better be a good idea, or you're not going to get everybody's attention.

Your parents were always trying to get you to be careful when you were a kid, and that's all pervasive in this society.

We wanted to establish a new fan base over here. And second, we wanted to challenge ourselves. We wanted to bring what is ostensibly new music to fresh ears and see what lights them up.

I have not made many conscious efforts to "re-imagine" songs. I just let them happen the way they're going to happen.
