People want you to play the songs they know. I try not to reflect too much, and I don't really like to focus too much on myself.

I always want to try and see what the appeal is in anything. It's the healthiest and most honest approach.

Everybody is in various states of needing to transcend something. I believe in mental health care, but when we call people "crazy," we exclude them from our circle.

Gender relations are a sad story of men talking trash about women all over the world.

I know it's a cliché to say I write for myself, but I write for myself.

It's a cliché to state that one should think like a child, but it's clear that kids know something that the world tries to make you unlearn later in life.

The studio's a collaborative environment. I just try to let people bring their own ideas to the songs and see what happens.
