If you want to be taken seriously, you almost have to act really serious.

The reason companies work is because you're able to get a lot of people doing the work; it's not because of this visionary. Steve Jobs didn't make Apple; it was a bunch of people. The building of the right team is an art in and of its own right.

I want to have freedom of thought and expression - not get beaten down into some corporate existence, where there's so much risk of embracing the truth that you feel like you can't do it.

I think we're at a moment in history where all the rules are out the window; it's not about "Here's a single, and then let it build for a couple of months and then put out an album." Doing a common project Supa Dups we're having fun thinking about how we can improvise and make it fun for people to be fans of the music.

If you don't have an idea, you can defer to someone else. It's like having a baby with someone - it's not a clone of you, but it's partly you.

I'm not the guy whose gonna shoot 10,000 free-throws until I'm Michael Jordan - and it did happen kind of accidentally that I said, "Okay, yeah, I'll try singing."
