What's funny for me is that I made a lot of the music I make with intentions of it being a song you listen to, to chill out.

I probably listen to more instrumental music than music with lyrics, but at the same time I do love both.

I'm all for in my production, creating really unique textures and sounds - for me that's what I love about music.

I'm now much more aware of my mental state. I have a lot more control over it and can choose how I feel.

Music really does just boil down to basically, essentially songwriting chords and melodies.

I feel like I've gotten to a point where I don't know if it can get much bigger. I've been climbing and I feel very happy.

Most of the music I've listened to or grew up listening to - a lot of it at least - is instrumental stuff.

Australian weather's amazing! You notice that when you go overseas.

It's more my own thing if I do instrumentals, but I also do really love collaborating with vocalists, so it's a good balance.

Once you make something you think it's awesome, but it's only after you listen to it for a few weeks then you actually get a proper perspective on it.

I feel like New Zealand's a bit of an unchartered territory for me in a way.

Your true home is in the here and the now.

Quality - in its classic Greek sense - how to live with grace and intelligence with bravery and mercy.

One day we will all cherish the memory of having blacksmiths on every corner.

If you have the passion to do something, work hard, stay honest and nothing can stop you to accomplish it.

See, when you're a little kid, nobody ever warns you that you've got an expiration date. One day you're hot stuff and the next day you're a dirt sandwich.

Athletics is a great sport with many different events and athletes come in all shapes and sizes. I'm one of the smallest athletes on the track. They call me the 'pocket rocket'.

America is not like a blanket- one piece of unbroken cloth. America is more like a quilt- many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven together by a common thread.

Every book in the world is out there waiting to be read by me.

I don't really expect much from my life. So when I heard my films are premiering in film festival circuits I was glad of course but I thought it was lucky accident.
