What's working for me is like when I go into the studio, I'm trying to get goosebumps.

I don't do well at picking first single.

I have always tried to keep an honest, age-appropriate line of communication open with my daughter,India, even during the teen years, a painful time of development when they usually shut down, and the last person they want to speak to is a parent. But India would always tell me what was going on, so I really encourage people to be as open with your children as you possibly can.

I'm trying to laugh uncontrollably with whoever I'm making a song with because whatever we just listened to that we just came up with is so dope. I'm chasing that feeling in the studio, not like a trend or what's hot on the radio at the moment. It just seems like the more I do that, the better I get at what I do. I'm going to keep doing that.

As accurately as I possibly can. I explain , to my kid, that love's an elusive, fragile and resilient thing. And as far as the lyrics, I say that part of being an adult is being sexual, and when you're in a relationship, to express yourself that way is a beautiful thing.

My wife and I are parents to a 4 year old and a 2 year old. It's really important for me to always be there for bath time and breakfast time and on the weekends.

I think that whatever you do, if you're a singer, a rapper, an architect, dentist, treat that like when you're doing it, your whole career depends on that moment.
