Sometimes a song can take up to a year to write, and because I waited that year and waited to work on it that day, it came up that extra 50 percent.

The people who I grew up making music with, we've all grown up and become successful in different ways. My manager supported me since I was 16 and believed in me as a musician. He's been there since Day 1, and there's so much to be said about doing something with people that you love.

I never set out to be part of a genre, because I listen to all types of music.

I don't like being overexposed. I don't like being on covers. And I don't like people talking about me.

I don't care about having money. It's about being happy, man.

Fantasy is hard to do when it comes to making it look good compared to something that's a documentary or hyper-realism.

To me, it's always a joy to create music no matter what it takes to actually get there. The real evils are always whatever stops you from doing that - like if your CPU is spiking and you have to sit there and bounce all your MIDI to audio. Now that's annoying!
