I'm somebody who gets a lot of inspiration from dreams.

I went every Sunday to church when I was growing up, and I think that music had an affect on me before my memory can recall.

There's at least one fist bump every interview.

Certain things you have to stumble on to. They can't be preprogrammed.

I always prefer other people's interpretations over my own, so I'm not very quick to make explicit what exactly a song or record is about.

One of the great things about music is that it has the capability of time travel - you smell a certain smell in the room and it takes you back to your childhood. I feel like music is able to do that, and it happens to me all the time.

I've worked with just as many talented women as I have talented men, and I feel fortunate enough to have that great balance.
