I spend my time trying to figure art out. I was brought up to believe that the way one processes information is by making it into art. That's how I live my life.

For me, songwriting is something that I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.

I do think British tailoring is the best. French people hate me when I say that, but I do think it's true.

I have a piano and a guitar, and I tend to switch back and forth between those two instruments to help me get inspired.

I'm lucky that a lot of my friends are in the entertainment industry.

My dad, he's definitely one of greatest writers of his generation. There is no question about it. When you are that good, when work is that good, you have to appreciate every aspect of it. It's the architecture of it, it's like looking at a Frank Lloyd Wright building or a Lautner building, it's master craftsmanship. Every aspect of it intertwines in a perfectly harmonious way. That's what architecture is at its best and the architecture of my father's music is on that level.

I've always been cool, basically. I was cool in utero.
