Collaborate with people you can learn from

Failure honestly can be like the best lesson and it's like the one that like God wants you to really pay attention to. That's why it hurts. The pain will help you remember how not to walk, what directions not to go.

I'm like most people. We just concentrate on the present. I live right where the film is going through the film projector and it hits the light.

Everything that we experience every day leaves a long-lasting impression.

You learn from experiences, and I suppose that's where I color most of my music, from experiences.

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.

I just do what I do. It's not something that should be revered as something that's great.
