responsibility thinking self
As individuals, I just think that our biggest responsibility is to be self-aware, and some of us are not.
We're nothing without science. Nothing.
way
I prefer a woman's way of dealing with things.
running want certain
Most of my company is run by women. There's a certain sensitivity to what I want to express, so that's what I want around me.
art technology ideas
Every piece of technology, every piece of art, basically everything manmade comes from an idea.
missing inspire want
If someone asks me what inspires me, I always say, "That which is missing," because I don't want to copy everything that's already happening. I feel like when you copy, you blend in, and when you blend in, you get lost.
men looks humans
Usually as humans and especially as a man, we look at things in context. It's like, oh, I know what that is, that's this, or this, there's that.
jobs couple artist
That's our job as artists is to be honest about what we're feeling. And what we're feeling is not always going to be perfect. Sometimes it's going to be controversial. Sometimes it's going to piss a couple of people off. Sometimes it's going to motivate people. Sometimes it's going to inspire.
determination crazy thinking
As much as we think we are as artists, we think, oh, you know, we're going to do this, we're going to do that, and really at the end of the day it's the fans that make that determination. Because if they don't buy it, stream it, share it or talk about it, then you're just a crazy person with an idea.
want boxes
Society wants to put us in a box and say, OK, you do this and you do that and you do this, and I'm like, no, I like this, I like that.
thinking voice space
I think minimalism is something I just got attracted to just in general because I like the empty space, if you think about it, like there's a lot of empty space. So there are sounds there, there are chords, like coordinates, to sort of tell you where the emotion is going, but then it leaves so much room for the voice to do other things.
feelings trying albums
When I make music, I try to make something that is super colorful and something you've never heard before, so when you hear the whole album, it's a good feeling. Musically that's what I aspire to do whenever I'm making an album.
song kids men
As a kid, I always had a super vivid imagination, like "Man, I like those shoes, but they should've made them in purple" or like, "Man, I wonder how people make songs."
creativity important loyal
The most important thing is just like creativity and music. It's the one thing that you never lose if you just stay loyal to that.
