I get a lot of demos sent my way, and I listen to them, and sometimes they just have something very special.

But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It's like listening to a song - I mean, a story. If you're going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don't want to make them up.

I only get involved with projects as a producer if I feel creatively inspired.

I thought I'd be wasting my time to go to commercial record companies and make demos for them, because don't forget, I was doing what I was doing and nobody understood what I was doing.

I demo all of my songs on Garage Band, where I pretty much play everything - not very well, but I manage to hammer out a drum beat and a bass idea.

I love listening to demos. They're so raw.

I never record anything like a demo, I just go for it.

I've been making demos at home for many albums now. So over those years, I've learned how to record music, and I love being at home. I excel when I can make things at home.

When I'm making stuff, the thing that excites me most is not the result, but the process and trying to do something I've never done before.

I don't do that much sampling. I create all my own sounds.
