Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.

Distance sometimes lets you know who's worth keeping and who's worth letting go.

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

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.

People are just afraid of things too much … Sure, evil exists, extremism exists. Somebody could commit a hate crime and hurt me. But they could do the same just because I'm black. They could do the same just because I'm American.

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

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.

It's about the stories. If I write 14 stories that I love, then the next step is to get the environment of music around it to best envelop the story and all kinds of sonic goodness.

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.
