When you work on a record for three years, it's a great sense of relief when it is finally out in the world. It just feels good.

It's no fun for me to cover a song and produce it the exact same way as it already exists. When I hear that happening, I have to say, 'What's the point?'

My grandparents are from Mexico, so I grew up with great Mexican food.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I've done gospel songs on every album.
