I think when you're making an album, as the songs are piling up, one of the good things about it is that you will often write the song that you need.

I think [Transcendental Meditation] is what people need. They don't need high minded talk, they need results.

I should be able to look at my accolades and go, "Come on, Paul. That's enough." But there's still this little voice in the back of my brain that goes, "No, no, no. You could do better. This person over here is excelling. Try harder!" It still can be a little bit intimidating.

George Martin, he's very good at a very sort of lush, sweet arrangement.
