Everything I've done feels like I'm just as much a part of it as if I was the producer. It's still the same job: all of us together figuring out the common good for a song. That's the only thing that matters. It's not like, "I'm the boss, and I'm gonna tell you what to play."

I've always been more drawn to being normal than being famous.

It's so much more interesting when you're human. I hate making mistakes, but I'm not afraid of 'em.

There ain't no future in the past.

I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.

I don't chase what everyone else is looking for. Being creative is all about you.

I'm a musician, so for the most part I've always thought that the musicians were equally as inspiring to listen to - maybe more so, in some cases - in addition to the artists.
