“I would sing around the house, and I would always play on things just ...” — Jack Garratt Quote

I would sing around the house, and I would always play on things just because instruments were always there, but I didn't show any genius as a child. I wasn't a prodigy or anything like that.

The most important thing for me is to have as much control over what's going on in front of me as I possibly can, so because of that, I don't play to a click track, and I don't have anything on the grid. Everything is triggered by me. Everything is played by me. Everything is within my control.

Genre hopping is something I intend to do, and I intend to do it forever and ever because I think genres are boring.

I remember listening to 'Songs In The Key Of Life' as a kid. Stevie Wonder has an ability to manipulate pop into something globally obtainable. Anyone can listen and enjoy it because there's something for everyone. That woke me up to the possibilities of pop music.

Many a genius has been slow of growth. Oaks that flourish for a thousand years do not spring up into beauty like a reed.

It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing.

People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius.

There are few words in the music business or in art that I'll say people or some writers are overgenerous with words like 'legend' or 'genius', 'he's a pioneer' and all of that.

Genius, like humanity, rusts for want of use.
