In real life, a lot of people at that level will have their kimonos made especially for them.

Engineering and mixing are absolutely key. Once a song is done, for me personally, it's usually two or three days to get the mix down.

Quite understandably, people think that if there's a six-year gap or whatever, that it's taken me six years to make the album. It's not really like that at all.

I usually make records very quickly. I usually go in and record them and mix them, and I'm done within a couple of weeks.

My sister-in-law is a painter, and I'll say, how long did it take you to paint that painting. She'll say, It took me maybe three days, but it took me all my life to get the skills to paint that painting.

The first 2 weeks, they didn't learn the piece - they went through the process of how the piece was made.

I made every single piece myself, each individual component, so it was quite time consuming.

I actually had a week where I literally wrote four songs and all of them are on my album. But sometimes you'll go a week where you'll write songs and they never see the light of day. So that process takes a long time.
