It’s nice to be liked, but it’s better by far to get paid.

Like, I kind of developed my musical style in a vacuum. Even though I listen to a lot of stuff, the way I wrote was in my bedroom, really privately. It's still the way I write, actually.

I love scoring. Putting music to picture is a rewarding challenge and one that relies on interpretation of emotion - as in, what is the pivotal feeling in a scene and which character's point of view is driving it at any given moment?

I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.

I prance around and dance by myself to hip-hop songs in the mirror.

I don't like being approached by people who look at me too intensely, who needed something from me that I didn't have. I don't represent anything.

I remember even getting kicked out of a bar once because I was too loud and obnoxious.
