Never cut corners, or accept anything that's second-rate.

I don't like doing things that are too easy.

I think these days, new artists have a tendency to try to cut corners.

There is a - deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there's a laziness in me.

I don't like doing most things unless I can do them quite well.

Things come in a quieter way to me. It's not laziness, and it's not diffidence. I just know how far you have to bend for work. That's important for me.

Laziness isn't merely a physical phenomenon,about being a couch potato,stuffing your face with fries and watching cricket all day. It's a mental thing, too, and that's the part I have never aspired for.

So, I was always frustrated having to write and having to cut things. Why should you have to cut anything?

I hate wasting time or money and that happens all the time for no good reason, and then people save money by skimping on the important things.

Hard work - I mean, does anybody use that term anymore? Laziness doesn't fly. It's all in the practice. It does take work and it ain't easy - but man, the rewards!
