people kind granted
I find that the kinds of music Im drawn to are those that a lot of people take for granted.
wind ideas
I have ideas all of the time from the beginning, but they never really wind up turning out like I thought they would.
thinking good-times quitting
When I dont have a good time making music, I think of quitting a lot. I really do. I can create something else. Ill do something else.
create good music quitting time
When I don't have a good time making music, I think of quitting a lot. I really do. I can create something else. I'll do something else.
melodies music
I'm into song-writing; I'm into melodies that break your heart a little bit. That's the thing that got me into music; that's what I look for in music for the most part.
classic name sad song
I often have an argument with people. I say name me a classic song that's not sad in some kind of way. And even if you can, you'll have to search pretty far.
music stuck
I'd hate to have to leave music, but if I got stuck some place, I would.
daft fit normally
Daft Punk wouldn't have normally fit into anything that was pop on the radio, but they just did it.
dorm
The first two projects I did out of my dorm room were mock film soundtracks.
remix
After the 'Grey Album,' everyone thought of me as the hip-hop guy, the remix maestro. I didn't know how to show them otherwise.
boards computers deal hearing mixing needs songs super work
I'm not really a knob-twiddler. I always work with an engineer; I'm not super hands-on when it comes to mixing boards and computers. I'm much more about what I'm hearing and what it needs to be like. I deal with songs and ideas and instruments.
believe thinking years
If you're 22 years old and you can't believe you're even in the position to have a career making music, the first thing you're going to think is: Maintain. Don't lose it. And that's precisely what causes you to lose everything.
world band done
What affected me the most about the Beatles was that they were the biggest band in the world and they could have done anything they wanted.
fun broken bells
Broken Bells reminds me how much fun I have making music.
