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.

No matter how naturally gifted you are, it's your passion that's going to make you better and maybe touch some people.

What affected me the most about the Beatles was that they were the biggest band in the world and they could have done anything they wanted.

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

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

Broken Bells reminds me how much fun I have making music.

I find that the kinds of music I’m drawn to are those that a lot of people take for granted.
