I know that's blasphemous when you are from Detroit, but I was never a fan of Motown stuff. I don't care for the production much.

Happiness is more important than money any day.

Onstage, I don't feel any glory from people clapping in the audience, but when they're pushing me to do something new that feels good.

Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the colors in the palette, that just kills creativity.

That's what happens nowadays with people working on computers. They can so easily fix things with their mouse and take out all the, 'Oh, somebody coughed in the background we need to take that out' - or somebody hit a bad note. Those are all the best moments.

I never wanted to play guitar when I was younger. I wanted to be a drummer because everybody plays guitar, and I didn't want to do what everybody else wanted to do.

If you emphasize one part of the song, it trivializes the rest of the music.

There are distractions, all around. There's so much media, for a young kid to battle against, to get to something soulful. You have to make a decision, on your own, what you can take from these people, if you can dig deeper. It's nice to be able to let people dig deeper.

The wonderful news is that when a person with my lack of art background can be successful, then anyone can. I'm not super talented and had no art training. Nothing, nada, zip. No workshops or classes.

I certainly wouldn't want a song that I'd already written to be used on a commercial. That seems strange.

I love him (Muse) too much, and you can't hurt someone that you love that much . . . unless you're family.

A lot of people in the media, and some everyday people, really aren't in search of the truth. They're in search of something worse than that. Money, yeah. I think the media's the kind of a thing where the truth doesn't win, because it's no fun. The truth's no fun.

The day that music is taken for free by the majority is the day that the phrase sell out doesn't exist any more.

When you put something out there into the world, there's all these words you don't want to hear, that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro, reinvent, recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying, emulating.

Relationships of any kind are powerful, and they always influence an artist. It's inescapable.

Vinyl survived, we managed not to kill it. Knowing that you’ve taken part in this fight... You can’t imagine the happiness it brings. Every time I see a kid going out of the store with a vinyl record under the arms, my heart beats faster. Music should only be this. An intense emotion.

I think the most important thing is to start with something that fits perfectly. Don't worry about having it in five colors.

I am a commercial artist because I paint to earn a living. We who earn money from what we produce are all commercial artists.

I believe I am a better director than actor. I enjoy acting if the part is right. Directing comes very naturally to me. I enjoy it. I am very confident in my work.

I came up from growing up with a lot of Catholic guilt, a lot of punk rock, hipster guilt in the later years where I think people have thrown a lot of things on me. Where I always felt like I'm not supposed to tell the horn section what to play or I don't want to come off egotistical.
