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

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

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.

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.

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.

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