I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.

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.

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.

If you give people more perspective of one object, they start to see it more clearly.

What I hate is when you're wearing something and you feel it on your body. I hate that.

It would be nice if I was remembered at all. I don't really care about being remembered. I just want to enjoy my life today and do my best while I'm here. I'm not that ambitious, other than to have a good life now.

I try not to do anything by formula.
