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.

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

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

If you're wandering the streets, talking in gibberish, nobody ever asks you to change anything about your art because there's no context for people to look at what you do.

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

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

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