I look at albums like novels. If you write a really good scene or a really good moment, just because you wrote it, doesn't mean that it fits with the story that you're writing.

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

I love playing our older songs along with newer ones but If all I have is my old stuff, I quit. Creating is more rewarding.

Good music is good music, regardless of where it comes from. I think that's a really important thing to carry with you.

I really like pop music, I don't think it's a four-letter word.

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!"

I'm very much a night person. Morning is a thing I only experience because I have to.
