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

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

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.

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