Collaborations aren't easy, but you definitely get something highly different than had you done it on your own. That's part of the experience.

When you need to innovate, you need collaboration.

That's a gift God's given us: the ability to work together in collaborations.

I never really approach collaborations as kind of normal things where they're arranged and they happen because you've arranged them. I've always been like this, I just have friends I hang out with, and while we're hanging out, if music happens then it happens.

All my collaborations happen in different ways. Sometimes it's through a chance meeting at a festival or event, while others can happen just off the back of me liking their music and reaching out.

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.

As far as the mechanics go, working with other people on received ideas was for me a very interesting technical problem. I can't say that any of my collaborations engaged my heart, but they engaged the craftsman in me.

As far as I'm concerned, collaboration is the essence of life. It's wonderful to be able to have talents, and, very often, we think that we know what our talents are, or we find out through a back door that we have a talent. I know that I found out I was a lyricist quite through a back door.

Collaboration is the best way to work. It's only way to work, really. Everyone's there because they have a set of skills to offer across the board.
