From a programmer's point of view, the user is a peripheral that types when you issue a read request.

I have an all-Japanese design team, and none of them speak English. So it's often funny and surprising how my ideas end up lost in translation.

Lyrically, I could be so much sharper. Melodically, I could be so much stickier. Musically, I could have so much more texture. So I'm constantly doing that, trying to find new ways to mix things up.

I don't want to end up being a circus act, doing my most famous tricks when I'm 70.

As a kid, I always had a super vivid imagination, like "Man, I like those shoes, but they should've made them in purple" or like, "Man, I wonder how people make songs."

I'm a fan of music, first and foremost. So I do things from the perspective of a fan.

I just like being a kid. I enjoy it, I don't want to grow up.
