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.

Go for someone who is proud to have you.

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

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

I don't fear anybody... at all.

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.

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

With my art, it's the one thing that I know will outlive me and outlive my feelings. It will outlive my depressive seasons.

I play piano every day. I enjoy that.

We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I'm going to be alive, I want to be challenged - to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn't an easy way, but it's a rewarding way.

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.

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.

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

Being singer/songwriter implies versatility and being able to create more than one medium, and R&B artist is a box, simple as that. It is 'that's what you do, that's what you are', and that's a little unfair, to me, because I don't just do that. So I like singer/songwriter because it allows me to move a little bit more freely.

I don't know anything and neither do 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.

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

Those who are heartless, once cared too much.

When you're happy you enjoy the music, but when you're sad you understand the lyrics.
