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're 22 years old and you can't believe you're even in the position to have a career making music, the first thing you're going to think is: Maintain. Don't lose it. And that's precisely what causes you to lose everything.

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

I have ideas all of the time from the beginning, but they never really wind up turning out like I thought they would.

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

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