“I'm not a big songwriter guy. People who are really good singer-songwriters usually left me kind of cold.”

“I think I'm designed to regret everything.”

“I'm a DJ, and I live in Williamsburg, and I run an independent record company.”

“I definitely always thought of myself as a songwriter before a singer.”

“As writers, you spend so long trying to build your cred as a writer, and then everything comes together at the same time: your artist career happens when your songwriter career is, too.”

“I think artists are aware that talking gives a songwriter so much material. If they just tell us what's happening, it's so much easier for us to write a song that's specific to them.”
