There can be powerful magic in acts of desperation.

I really like working with unique and unknown artists, as they usually bring something fresh to a song.

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. BecauHse people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they are afraid it might be true.

What I don't like to hear in music is something has not been thought through: that a sound is just there randomly. I want to make sure that every single little noise that's in my song is there because it's supposed to be there.

There is no such thing as pure good or pure evil, least of all in people.

There is magic in patience, you know.

I don't want to put 12 singles on an album. I want to make a story, a little movie.
