Technology has taken its toll on albums in a tough way. The CD format and MTV really played havoc on artists.

I think somewhere around high school, your brain starts to gel, to harden. Before that, there’s this time where anything is possible and the more things that you artistically and educationally have in your repertoire, the more you become a child of larger possibilities.

Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

I really appreciate anyone trying to inject art into mainstream film.

As far as the style, I was fascinated by surrealism.

If you're in music just to become a big, fat rock star, then I probably don't like your music to begin with.

Lego was our fourth film, because we did two Cloudys, so yeah there's a little bit of shorthand that's involved and then you can anticipate things- because for me it's like, I get a script for a movie and I go, "Wow that's a pretty good script", then you sign on and a couple months later they show you the first cut and you're like, "Whoa, how did that happen?"
