I realized if I'm not really making an album, I don't have to be concerned about things like stylistic consistency, pacing, a coherent mood. All that stuff goes out the window.

It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.

I don't do much press. I don't like to talk about my music too much before I do it.

I want to be the kind of artist who keeps pushing on every album. I don't want to settle on a sound.

To be honest, making albums is really never easy. It's always a bit excruciating because there's always this fight to make it great, and then you hit these stumbling blocks along the way.

An album is a thing you take time out and go work on.

I have a lot of albums yet to do.

When you have a reputation for making not only good songs but great albums, that in itself creates added artistic pressure. But, at the end of the day, I guess that pressure is something I welcome.

With every album, the approach is find the best songs you can find, write the best songs you can write and try to sound better.

I'm very serious about what I write and who I allow to produce the music, because I want to make sure it's a true album, and not just something pushed out there to create hype and more fame for myself.
