One half was like, I hope this doesn't affect it, and the other half was like, it's great that people know I did a Beyoncé record.

She [Beyonce] is just an energetic performer and she loves drums. She loves edge.

Generally, you're always shooting in the dark with Beyonce. She's just creative and eclectic and up on always trying to be ahead of the game. That was the moment of me trying to figure out how I wanted to give her another moment.

I don't like when everything sounds the same.

At that point, when songs got leaked, it was cool though too because then you started getting recognition beforehand.

No one's selling records anymore, so there's no income you're being robbed of. I think that you should be in alignment with the world. The world is about sharing now, so as long as it's out there, it should be there. I think it's fine.
