Even with artists I love, only about a third of their music is what really hits the sweet spot for me.

I was thinking that people have to believe you're crazy in order to take you seriously as an artist.

Going back and forth between wanting to be respected artistically and wanting to move people is its own challenge.

When I dont have a good time making music, I think of quitting a lot. I really do. I can create something else. Ill do something else.

I started out really making music in my dorm room, and it wasnt really producing or anything like that; it was you making something.

I have no shame in making music that maybe, if you listen to it long enough, you'll realize you've heard this or that part of it before.

If you know what kind of music somebody loves, then you can kind of figure out why they do what they do.
