If it brings me to my knees, it's a bad religion

Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.

The first four and a half years was me in the studio every day, writing songs for other people. I had jobs, too - eleven jobs. I worked at Kinko's, Fatburger, Subway - I was a sandwich artist - and I was a claims processor at Allstate Insurance.

Go for someone who is proud to have you.

In art, at a certain level, there is no 'better than.' It's just about trying to operate for yourself on the most supreme level, artistically, that you can and hoping that people get it. Trusting that, just because of the way people are built and how interconnected we are, greatness will translate and symmetry will be recognised.

We were poor. But my mom never accepted that. She worked hard to become a residential contractor - got her master's with honors at the University of New Orleans. I used to go to every class with her. Her father was my paternal figure.

I don't know if I ever told you this before, but you're the only one I ever waited for this long.

My grandfather was smart and had a whole lot of pride. He didn't speak a terrible amount, but you could tell there was a ton on his mind - like a quiet acceptance of how life had turned out.

Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.

The work is the work. The work is not me. I like the anonymity that directors can have about their films. Even though it's my voice, I'm a storyteller.

Don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am, and my attitude depends on who you are.

Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story, but music sometimes, just music itself, can turn into more of a maths problem. I guess everything in life is a math problem, but it can be more about an empirical route to getting the symmetry that you want, and this vibe, sonically.

As a man I am not a killer. I’m an artist and a modern person. I’ll choose sanity.

It's not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.

I enjoy singing my songs in front of people. I enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.

As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain't got to pry beyond that.

If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Seriously. Punch them in the face and go get some ice cream.

I've always wanted to make a career in the arts, and I think that my only hope at doing that is to make it more about the work.

I don't ever want to be caught up in a system of thinking I can do one thing 'cos that's just... that's just telling yourself a lie.
