Selfishly, I make music for me. I like to make music. I like looking for songs. I like working with interesting musicians. I like producing records. It's something I will always do.

We make music for a living. Like I've always said, if you like what you're doing, you're halfway there; if someone else likes it, that's even better. If they don't like it, at least you like it. Not to be selfish, but you kind of have to be.

It takes a lot of selfish time to make music.

I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.

I've been working on my own music. I've been writing an album, stuff that's kind of personal to my own life.

If you get involved in music expecting to make a living out of it, then you've picked the wrong thing to do. That shouldn't really be in your mind.

I don't think music is my job - I don't think about it that way, because I don't really get paid. There's no paycheck at the end; it's more of a 'whatever is left over' kind of situation.

Back home, playing music is never anything you imagine you can do for a living. It's what you do after work.

In terms of, like, getting into a mindset, I use music all the time when I'm working.

But I really love music, and having a creative outlet is really the best thing you can do for yourself.
