I'd hate wearing suits every day.

There are two types of bands - there are the ones that are basically solo projects anyways, where there's clearly the one guy who's driving the ship and everyone else is just along for the ride. And then there was my band, where you have a few very disparate-taste, creative people who kind of meet in the middle somewhere.

We got nominated for a Grammy, that was really crazy, and I was sitting there and Stevie Wonder was on stage and I remember thinking "Wow, I really need to take [singing] more seriously!"

Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger. The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger.

Between Prince and my dad's fusion-jazz records, I didn't have a choice in being funky.

I always think about opportunity and how you regret the things you don't do.

Speed is absolutely key to creativity. The more time it takes to create something, the less likely you are to create something.
