I have a top 10 list of my favorite movies of all time, and just for the sake of not having my top 5 be entirely Miyazaki films, I had to pick one. So, right now, my favorite Miyazaki film is probably 'Princess Mononoke.'
When I was a kid, I was a really bad collaborator. I was pretty introverted.
I have always been very interested in thinking deeply about things. I do this a lot.
Stay in school and band, kids! It had its nerdy moments, and I always felt like I wanted to do something more with it.
Most of the people that work for me are my friends, and I'd like to keep it that way.
I love what I do, and I do it 24/7, and it hurts my relationships very often, but it's worth it.
There is so much energy when you work with other people. I'm working with friends and having a blast.
It's all about the music. Everything else is just extra.
I also think something that makes the whole live performance fun for me is that I love my music.
I love playing live and creating these records that people are so into.
If you make music with business in your head, it'll show. I make it from the heart. There's a difference.
For 'The Anthem,' a lot of my fans were like 'Oh, man, he's getting lazy making just, like, a pop format tune that everyone's doing these days.' But on this album, I wanted to write songs with vocals that would get stuck in my head, not just movements of instrumentals.
I'm obsessed with the sound of today, but I was raised on the Motown sound.
