I think every time you work with another collaborator, there's an adjustment process where you figure out the other person's strengths, and that has definitely happened for me.

I'm not a good collaborator in general.

I don't necessarily love all the collaborations that I've done; the more I work with other people, the more I realize that I want to work with myself.

Partnerships are increasingly seen through the prism of promises and expectations, and as a kind of product for consumers: satisfaction on the spot, and if not fully satisfied, return the product to the shop or replace it with a new and improved one! You don't, after all, stick to your car, or computer, or iPod, when better ones appear.

When you collaborate, you have to be willing to scrap a lot.

When you need to innovate, you need collaboration.

That's the nice thing about collaborating with someone: Your work becomes a conversation.

Everyone who makes music is a good collaborator at their foundation because in order to make music, you have to connect to it in a way that other people can't.

No matter how much success you're having, you can't continue working together if you can't communicate.

I'm a collaborator. I know I don't know everything. I don't want to know everything.
