Sometimes when you're an artist, you need to be in your own head; you need to stay in it to be able to get to a good place.

I feel like my music has so many different things going on. I've always worked with many different producers. And a lot of times, each of them has a different thing that I really love about what they do.

There's so many different kinds of songs that could be pop songs. I don't think pop songs should sound the same.

To me, I don't think a song's complete unless it's got a great variety of different textures.

I think being attracted to mistakes is one of the things that film can capture in a way that theater can't. Film can capture a moment of spontaneous life that will never be captured again.

As far as the creative side of making great, great albums and really trying to go down in history? I don't see that happening lately, you know what I mean? You have a lot of guys is talented, but at the same time, timeless music is more important to me.

Life is possible only by the deficiencies of our imagination and memory.

Writing was my route to creative expression, and I needed to write about the things that interested me.
