I'm somebody who gets a lot of inspiration from dreams.

I'm somebody who doesn't feel the need to be in the driver's seat all the time. I appreciate the perspective of being in the passenger's seat sometimes, and I feel fortunate for that because I've learned a lot from that perspective.

It always seems that those who are most successful in fulfilling their hopes and dreams are the same people who run quickly towards them until they are fully realized

I get most of my inspiration from older records and older production styles, and that ends up rearing its head in the records that I make.

I get most of my inspiration from older records. Most of the records that I listen to were probably made before I was born, and I was born in the mid-'70s. I don't know why, exactly, I'm drawn to those sounds.

If you're willing to give up on a dream then it wasn't a dream to begin with.
