A Movie Is Something You See, Cinema

A Big Part Of Making An Album Is That You Want To Have Enough Material - You Want To Have Enough Stuff For People To Hear And Know That It Represents You. So It Does Sometimes Turn Into A Situation Where You're Saying To The Person You're Working With, "well, What Do You Want?" But Then There Are Other Times When I Work With People And They'll Turn To Me And Say, "how Do You Want To Do This?" And That's Actually When I Work Best.

I'm Still Very Affected And Moved By Their Music - Maybe In A Way That's Different From Someone Who Grew Up Around It.

The Traditional Models For Success Are Just Also Disappearing.

I Have No Shame In Making Music That Maybe, If You Listen To It Long Enough, You'll Realize You've Heard This Or That Part Of It Before. I'm Still Very Excited By An Amazingly Written Song, So That's Really The Thing That I Work On When I Make Records With People.

If I'm A Director And I Read A Script And I Say Yeah I Really Want To Do This, I Would Never Walk Away Because The Deal Wasn't Very Good - That I Wasn't Getting Paid Very Much Or That The Chances That I Would See Anything On The Back End Were Remote Because Of The Financial Waterfall And The Way It's Structured. I Would Never Use That As A Reason Not To Do Something.
