“Let alone 15 minutes – to decide what you think about it.”

I would’ve done when I was 16, like texting a really awkward “I like you” message to someone.

Things are changing at such a rate that you really can’t get too familiar with anything that you own in relation to what sort of functionality it has in your life.

There’s nothing better than having an experience now that’s the exact same thing.

You really need to stop Googling yourself and start being an artist.

We really are living in the era that all this sci-fi literature and cinema was centered around.

But I can’t ignore that there are things that inspire me, and I love celebrating those.

It’s difficult because it forces you to really get creative.

But it’s not anything like what we envisioned it to be. It’s almost like there’s too much choice.

There’s this really amazing quote from Jim Jarmusch about celebrating your theft that I think has become more and more prominent in music.

I remember a time when I would hear a band and then want to hear everything that sounded like it;

You should always choose your associations wisely because people create impressions around the music.

It makes you more choosy and also more receptive to absorb anything for 15 seconds.

You don’t mind putting in 15 hour days. It’s joyful.

My dad told me, ‘It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success’, and it took me seventeen and a half years.

I wouldn’t trust the best fifteen minutes I ever lived to get me into heaven.

So for them 15 years is a blink of an eye. I am nothing but grateful.

Once I saw a chimpanzee gaze at a particularly beautiful sunset for a full 15 minutes.

Fifteen years ago I killed my sister.

I was an accomplished junior tennis player up to around fourteen years old. At fourteen or fifteen I made the decision to venture off to make my life 100% music.

This is a time for serious people, Bob, and your fifteen minutes are up.
