मुझे लगता है कि मेरे लिए केवल वही संगीत निराशाजनक है जो इस तरह की भावनाओं को स्वीकार नहीं करता, वह संगीत जो सिर्फ पैसों या व्यावसायिक कारणों से लिखा गया है। उदास संगीत भी दुनिया की सबसे बेहतरीन और ऊर्जा देने वाली चीज हो सकता है।

I think for me, the only depressing music is music that doesn't give credence to those kinds of feelings, music that's just written for money or commercial reasons. Sad music can be the most uplifting thing in the world.

अपनी मनचाही मंजिल तक पहुँचने में थोड़ा समय लगा। खुद को आजाद करने में थोड़ा समय लगा। सच्चा बनने में थोड़ा समय लगा। खुद को अपने रूप में पाने में थोड़ा समय लगा।

It took a little time to get where I wanted. It took a little time to get free. It took a little time to be honest. It took a little time to be me.

मुझे सच में लगता है कि मैं एक आत्ममुग्ध (नार्सिसिस्ट) इंसान हूँ! मुझे लगता है कि जब मैं एल्बम लिखता हूँ, तो वे मेरी जिंदगी का बहुत सारा समय ले लेते हैं और मुझे इस बात का अहसास रहता है कि मैं पिछली बार वाले तरीकों का इस्तेमाल न करूँ, वरना मैं सचमुच बोर हो जाऊंगा और मुझे कोई प्रेरणा नहीं मिलेगी।

I just think I'm a narcissist, really! I guess when I write albums, they take a huge amount of time out of my life and I'm aware of not using the same processes as I did with the last one, or else I'd get really bored and wouldn't feel inspired.

मुझे लगता है कि इसका मुख्य राज यह है कि आपको यह बदलना होगा कि आप चीजों को कैसे ग्रहण करते हैं। शायद किसी गाने की शुरुआती पंक्तियाँ आपके अचेतन मन से निकलती हैं, लेकिन फिर आपको उसे एक निश्चित स्तर तक तराशना पड़ सकता है, जहाँ आपको अपने दिमाग के उन हिस्सों का इस्तेमाल करना पड़े जिनका इस्तेमाल आप आम तौर पर नहीं करते।

I think the trick is that you have to change how you take stuff in. Maybe the early beginnings of a song come out in a subconscious way, but then you might have to crack it to a certain degree, where you might use parts of your brain that you don't normally use.

इस बात की कोई गुंजाइश ही नहीं है कि कोई मेरे निजी अनुभवों को समझ सके कि ये गाने कहाँ से आए, क्योंकि वे पूरी तरह मेरे अपने हैं। लेकिन मैं इस बात को लेकर बहुत सचेत था कि गानों में काफी जगह (स्पेस) छोड़ूँ ताकि लोग अपनी खुद की यादों, एहसासों और भावनाओं के साथ उनका अपने तरीके से अर्थ निकाल सकें। मुझे चीजों को समेट कर छोटा करने की प्रक्रिया बहुत पसंद है ताकि लोग खुद उन गानों को पूरा कर सकें। मैं यही उम्मीद कर रहा था कि यह ज्यादा से ज्यादा सार्वभौमिक (यूनिवर्सल) बन जाए, भले ही इसकी शुरुआत सबसे निजी जगह से हुई हो।

There's no way anyone's going to understand my own personal experiences, where the songs came from, because they're mine. But I was very conscious of leaving loads of space in the songs so that people could interpret them with their own memories, feelings, and emotions. I love the process of taking stuff away so that people could finish the songs themselves. I was hoping it'd end up being as universal as possible, even though it comes from the most personal place.

यदि आप किसी रिश्ते के खत्म होने पर कोई गाना लिख रहे हैं, तो आप दरअसल इस बात का सम्मान कर रहे हैं कि वह इंसान आपके लिए कितना मायने रखता था।

If you're writing a song about a relationship ending, what you're really doing is honoring how much that person meant to you.

जब मैं अकेले रिकॉर्डिंग कर रहा होता हूँ, तो यह किसी तैल चित्र (ऑयल पेंटिंग) की तरह होता है: मैं एक परत के ऊपर दूसरी परत चढ़ा सकता हूँ और कई परतें तैयार कर सकता हूँ। लेकिन बैंड के साथ यह कुछ-कुछ वॉटरकलर (जल-रंग) जैसा बन जाता है: आप कागज के सफेद हिस्सों को खुला छोड़ देते हैं, ताकि कोई भी चीज जरूरत से ज्यादा गढ़ी हुई न लगे।

When I am recording on my own, it's like an oil painting: I can put that on top of that and build up layers. But with the band, it turned out more watercolor: you're leaving white bits of paper exposed, so that nothing is too overworked.

अमेरिका एक अजीब जगह है। जब भी मैं वहाँ गया हूँ, वह मुझे बेहद विशाल और विराट लगा है। मेरे वहाँ हमेशा अच्छे शो हुए हैं, लेकिन मैं बस जाता हूँ और वापस आ जाता हूँ, और मुझे ऐसा महसूस होता है जैसे हजारों गायक-गीतकारों के समंदर में मैं भी एक और गायक-गीतकार हूँ। मैं वास्तव में नहीं जानता कि अमेरिका में "सफलता पाने" (ब्रेकिंग इट इन अमेरिका) का क्या मतलब है। मैं बस दिन-प्रतिदिन और शो-दर-शो टूर करने पर ध्यान केंद्रित करता हूँ और देखता हूँ कि यह सफर मुझे कहाँ ले जाता है।

America's a funny place. Every time I've come over it just feels absolutely gigantic and massive. I've always had good shows there, but I just go and come back, feeling like another singer/songwriter in a sea of thousands of singer/songwriters. I don't really know what "breaking it in America" is or means. I just focus on touring day-by-day, and show-by-show, and see where it goes.
