“I like to try out different methods to get to good songs.”

“How much closer can I get to the common ear, the mainstream, and how much it can still be from this other world, this other place? That's the line I keep trying to tread but have my wings extend more on both sides.”

“I want to speak in the tradition of rhythm and blues and soul music, but also push how it's dressed and how it's delivered to the audience. And hopefully that gets embraced by as many people as possible, but the goal isn't necessarily to speak to everyone. The goal is to get it out as exact as it is in my head.”

“I'm against military methods.”

“I'm really fascinated by other directors' methods. I've done a lot of learning by observation.”

“I have tried to be honest with every single character that I have played because I don't know the methods or I don't know tricks to act.”
