My idols have always stuck to their guns and said what they want to do.

Use minds to solve problems, not lies and bullets.

I'm not a perfect song writer, but I am song writing problems with dynamics, instrument change and arrangements.

I'm just a proud papa and it's nice to get that validation from my colleagues in the industry. You get up, you pull your pants down and you're like, "Here it is!"

I was always getting my way. I was always the guy saying yes or no.

When you turn on the news, they don't say, "Hey, 2 Million kids went to school safely today...40,000 flights took place without incident." They don't say that.

To speak up and stand by my guns the entire time...To stand by my methodology. That's why I kind of made myself the producer.
