I'm not that big a fan of sampling. But I feel like if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it to where it's more of a reimagining of a track. The songs that I do utilize samples on, most of it you wouldn't even be able to tell what it was unless I told you.

Sometimes I'll have an idea for a story or have a subject, and that will inspire lyrics, but most of the time, hopefully, they already exist somewhere else.

I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.

The kind of music I'm trying to make is conscious, to make people think and feel and get inspired.

I like to take music from everywhere and put it in my style and let it be accepted.

I'm not really into the whole lyrics thing; I just like to make music that people like to listen to.

Creating a decent pop song is a challenge - and occasionally, once in every decade - it's kind of fun to do that.

I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

I don't live in the past or focus on making new songs sound like my old stuff; it would be stupid, and I don't think anyone would like it.
