When you start trying to figure out what you're the best at, that's when you become delusional because you start to believe that. [you're the best] I'd rather continue to ride that mule than to ride the cocky horse. You see people spin out of control like that all the time. Those are the most tragic stories – the most gifted people who start to believe that it's really ALL THEM. It's not all you. It can't be all you. Just like you need air to fly a kite. It's not the KITE – it's the AIR.

You treat the air as a canvas and the paint is the chords that come through your fingers, out of the keyboard.

I'm not mainstream at all. I can make mainstream music and I make music for mainstream artists, but me, myself, I'm not mainstream.

I'm just very thankful. And I say that a lot because that's the most important message.

I think all music is a gift from God.

I am overly ambitious, because I realize it can be done.

I feel overworked, but when I don't work, I feel weird.
