I moved to L.A. and really didn't dig living there until I found places like Koreatown and Little Tokyo. I really like hanging out in the grocery stores and restaurants.
I'm very curious about David Bowie's new record [2016]. I'm very, very... I'm just incredibly curious, I want to see what's happening with that. I don't really know who else is putting out records, we've had our heads buried working on ours. I haven't really been paying much attention lately.
Everything I've ever wanted to do, we've kinda done. Everything beyond this has been just the cherry on top. I've been so happy with the band, and we're so lucky and blessed to be able to do it.
Yoko Ono never deserved any of the hate she got. Paul McCartney and John Lennon weren't getting along.
'Punk' doesn't mean Mohawks and safety pins. It's about not conforming.
Be yourself! Love your mom, but if she's trying to get you to be someone you're not, she's in the wrong

When I eat something like vegetable bibimbap, I get that warm and fuzzy feeling of eating stuff that I grew up with.
Lyrically, I personally lean towards venting.
Between Prince and my dad's fusion-jazz records, I didn't have a choice in being funky.

Advice? Focus on the craft. Study the greats. Try and understand how and why they made the writing choices they did. Then, start by copying them...just as an exercise. See if you can do similar things. Learn how to write a song like so and so. Then, when you've done that, write a song like yourself. Learn to color within the lines before going outside them.
He's writing what I'm singing, and I'm writing what he's playing.
I don't want to put out something I'm not psyched on just because I finished it. That's the stupidest reason to do something, really. I want it to be up to my standards. I don't want to put out something I wouldn't listen to.
