Music is thousands and thousands of years old and I don't think that basic, primitive connection to the language of music ever changes.

I think the way kids create is so inspiring. They're drawing a picture? They love the picture they drew; they're not tortured about it.

I feel like you only have so much time to make stuff. I'm definitely aware of that. I'm also excited about it.

Emotions are messy and hard to figure out.

If you compromise what you're trying to do just a little bit, you'll end up compromising a little more the next day or the next week, and when you lift your head you're suddenly really far away from where you're trying to go.

The past is just a story we tell ourselves.

I like hiring people based on a feeling - this person gets it - rather than what they've done in the past.
