I enjoy music so much; it's such a passion in my life, and I hope that comes across.

Throughout the course of my life, I've been blessed to work with extremely talented people.

I love the power of the musician who composes and performs. I envy their ability to put a nugget of truth in three minutes of sweat and emotional outpouring, colored entirely from their thoughts.

I love when people are coming up and they're working hard and you can see that they're really focused on the process to their music. I really dig that. As a musician, it's nice to see people who really care about the process.

I really love listening to Hozier. He's great.

I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Everything is in tune: the voice, the type of music, who I am and who people think I am.

I have this massive love for the whole culture of pop music. It's my fascination, my ongoing passion.

You kind of hope as a musician that you get some recognition for what you do, and when you do, it's nice. It's a really good feeling.

I love working with different musicians in the studio, that's a real joy working with someone for the first time.

I'm in a hallowed league of artists. Whether it's Billie Holiday or Rakim or Jimmy Hendrix or... I don't know, MGMT, we're all blessed to be able to create. It's a lineage that extends a long time. And to be able to be active in it and have made a difference in it, it's humbling. To know I had a place in all of this; that's the rewarding part.
