I fell in love with Paris the first time I went.

I bought [John Lennon's] 'Plastic Ono Band,' and I listened to it over and over for months. It's a monumental work of genius.

God said, Here. Have it. Enjoy it. I'm gonna be miserable?

I'm definitely happy with everything I've done. I stand behind it. You'll always be saying, "Well, I could change that, or I would do that differently." But you have to let it be what it is.

If you ask a hundred people, they all give you different answers.

I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless.

I get hired as a writer or producer and I do the best I can to bring out that artist. If somebody calls you to do something, you go right for that vision and you're aware of that person's vibe. You're trying to get inside of them.
