The musicians themselves don't seem to know enough about why they're in the positions they're in, so they're afraid to lose those positions.

Some people have been listening to the Beatles their whole lives; I didn't discover them until I was 18 years old. As a result, I'm still very affected and moved by their music - maybe in a way that's different from someone who grew up around it.

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

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

I've had nightmares about having to kick people out of my band because they've said that they don't like the Beatles. I'd wake up and turn to them and say, "You like the Beatles, right?"

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.
