It's more important for me to have a good record with good music and be part of a movie that's good and where the music is used in a really great way. That's the important thing. The other stuff you want to say about it, I don't care.

When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.

For me, music is in the choice of what not to play as much as in what you've chosen to play.

In fact, the element of play has an important role in my life, and I think that should be the case in the life of every artist. Our life is occupied with playing, whether we play an instrument or a role.

As long as it's good music, that's what's important.

And I've also come to the conclusion that, as far as guitar solos and things like that are concerned, it's more important to complement the music rather than take away from it.

People like Prince don't have to care about anything, but they care because they want music for the future to be great.

I'm gonna be honest. I don't care about much. I care about people liking my music. I made it very far without nothing being on radio.

Well, I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years. And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.
