I'm too small for the universe to revolve around me. It is a huge relief!

I would be a huge hypocrite if I didn't tell you that at one time in my life I thought the way that you made music was you got on a major label and you got famous.

You're not supposed to totally know what's happening. The songs are supposed to give you clues so you can fill in the blanks.

Being the boss of your own career, you get used to having veto power and getting what you want, or as close to what you want as you have mapped out.

I try to think of the songs as little movies. They're always pretty visual to me. I can always sort of see them. I don't always know what the end result is going to be, and I don't know exactly what it's going to sound like, but I can kinda see them.

I want the recording process to be a time in my life that I will remember.

I like to think that I'm not old yet.
