I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain?

Music is a frequency, and my frequency, when I put it out there, is on the love vibes. It's not always sappy. Like, 'Bulletproof' is a love song. It's a black love song. I made it for my people. I...

We want to start a 'Flash' band. Everyone can play an instrument and sing.

When I first started blogging, it was about getting out new music and capturing artists working in the studio. This was before artists were so social. They weren't so hands-on then.

I actually never wanted to do a remake, but I got the opportunity to make the music for 'The Humma Song' for 'Ok Jaanu,' and that is how I actually got into remaking a song.

At first, I ain't gon' lie, I used to be a little nervous about what people were gon' think about my music, but once I let that go, then everything started happening.

Baseball is meant to be a contemplative game. They play music to draw young people to the game. If young people can't come to the game without music, then they should stay home.

My writing ability all stems from the blues.

Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.

Why do you judge me as a musician, John? All I'm interested in is making money.

I don't make a particular distinction between 'high art' and 'low art.' Music is there for everybody. It's a river we can all put our cups into and drink it and be sustained by it.

You know what I'd really like to do? I'd like to record some white Chicago jazz.

My songs are my girlfriends. I have a secret romance with all of them. I romance with them year after year.

'Mean' is a song I wrote about somebody who wrote things that were so mean so many times that it would ruin my day. Then it would ruin the next day. And it would level me so many times, I just felt...

Bands develop their own weird ways of doing things.

Basically I write songs, and I need for there to be a home for these songs.

There are a lot of famous comedians from Liverpool, then obviously the Beatles, and the football club. That's what people in Liverpool are passionate about.

Music is life, that's why our hearts have beats.

People in Mumbai are not really into Punjabi music, whereas those in Delhi and Gurgaon love Punjabi numbers and are totally into the peppy music.

I see people who work on their look and they work on their poster and their website and you know, the music will speak for itself no matter what. So if you put maybe like 95% of your energy on music...

Just because you listen to The National, Spotify might tell you that you want to listen to The Lumineers' music. Well, maybe you don't.

I still love playing music. It was all I ever wanted to do, and I got the chance to do it.

I love Jay-Z.

I love songwriting, and rap is part of my songwriting, but I'm not a rapper.

Ooooh, I love Nashville! It seems like everywhere you walk, there's great music coming out of every wall.

So yeah, I am definitely a blues man at heart.

I was going to record a solo album when I was 15 on a four-track. I started working on it, but then Fall Out Boy happened. The band was awesome and took me in a totally different direction. I don't...

It must have been fascinating for Bono to have Johnny Cash do a cover of his song, and hear how he translates the words that he has used. And it would be fascinating to see a great director do his...

Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years. No major figure of...

I'd want it to be really special to both of us, but I'm a huge fan of 'At Last' as a wedding song. But what's also really cool is songs that no one else would have at their wedding, like an obscure...
