“I've written plenty of songs that are not tailored for me, writing six...” — Matthew Koma Quote

I've written plenty of songs that are not tailored for me, writing six different songs to fit six different artists' visions.

I quickly developed this false narrative that my self-worth was directly related to how skinny I was or how I looked.

The most freedom I have is when I get to do DJ sets I get a little more freedom to play what I'm in the mood to play.

All I can really do is work hard because I love working hard and I love writing songs.

I've always been terribly uncomfortable with the idea of music fitting into one box so specifically that it's considered 'this' or 'that.'

I've fallen on my face. I've made mistakes. I've got plenty of records where I listen back, and I think, 'I wouldn't've done that.'

I will say that the prison regime is rather a good one for a writer because you have plenty of time to write.

I have refused to do plenty of films since there are some scenes that I am not comfortable doing on screen.

I'm going to miss shots. I'm going to make plenty of mistakes. It's not going to be perfect.

I feel every day that everything I create - everything I do - I want it to be a risk. I think when you take the big swings - and I've done plenty of big swings that I was told were never going to work - those are always the things that break through.
