With My Own Music, I Try To

There's A Perception That If An Artist Produces Another Artist, They're Going To Imprint On Them. But I'm The Opposite.

The Years Keep Going By And You Realize, Wow. Doing These Records Is Such A Process: Going On Tour For A Year And A Half, Then You Get Home And You Want To Do Other Things.

I've Done So Many Albums Where I've Been In The Studio For 14 Hours A Day For Six Months Just Trying To Come Up With Things On My Own. It's A Nice Change Helping Other People With Their Music And Not Being All About What I'm Trying To Do Myself.

I Think Trying To Be Offbeat Is The Most Boring Thing Possible.

Originally, The Lyrics To "girl" Were Really Upbeat, And Then It Didn't Work For Me Somehow. You Need The Dichotomy. If You're Doing Something Happy And Light, You Need The Shadows.
