There shouldn't be anything absolute, except physics.

You treat the air as a canvas and the paint is the chords that come through your fingers, out of the keyboard.

You sort of have to become what you're wearing.

You get used to it when you feel like you're an artist.

You can't get anything done hanging out all day long.

When you're playing, you're playing something for the world to hear.

When you're dancing, you're dancing for people to see.

When it comes to luggage, I am an underpacker.

When I'm in the mood for room service, my favorite order is a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich.

There's no better feeling than just going in and just working with someone and what comes out is something that the world knows about.

The sexiest woman musician is Alicia Keys.

The element of harmony is super important.

Some of us get a feeling when we hear music and we feel music, and you want to figure out how to continue to feel that.

So when I'm playing, I'm sort of painting a feeling in the air.

Right now, musically I'm inspired by everyday people.

My style hero was Batman. Now it's Tony Stark.

Iconic artists are never straight ahead. Michael Jackson loved Elvis and Burt Bacharach, and uniquely blended both of them into what he did.

I'm like a little boy from Virginia. I'm a backpacker. In my head, I'm left of centre. I come from the pool of weirdoes.

I'm always consciously trying to make what I feel is missing.

I'm a fan of music, first and foremost. So I do things from the perspective of a fan.

I like to browse and just hang in bookstores.

I learn a lot from my experiences and collaborations. Most of my collaborations are meant for me to learn.

For me, nothing is given.

Entrepreneur just denotes that you recognize that you're doing things across disciplines and that you're blazing your own path.

The keyboard is my journal.

Remember my first tenet in getting dressed is how you feel in the morning. So if you're not being true blue to that, it usually shows.

My favorite Dominican dish to indulge in is anything with crab.

I think all music is a gift from God.

I love what I do, I love my job.

I love the way Charlize Theron and Kate Moss dress.

I love making music, though. I love playing.

I like the world.

I like anything sweet.

I just like being a kid. I enjoy it, I don't want to grow up.

I just happen to admire everyone that we work with.

I don't want to end up being a circus act, doing my most famous tricks when I'm 70.

I don't know, the artist thing is not me. I love making music, though.

I don't know about style mistakes.

Fashion is more about feel than science.

Living your life 40 floors up, looking out every day on ocean and skies, you see the world from a different point of view. It's like living in a very interesting fishbowl, but since no one can see up here, it's like a fishbowl with a limo tint. Show less «

My ideal travel companions are my family.

I wanted clothing that I couldn't find, so I decided to make it.

I only entertain very close friends.

I love playing. The keyboard is my journal.

I am overly ambitious, because I realize it can be done.

Everything that we experience every day leaves a long-lasting impression.

Music is all of a sudden much more colorful.

I just do what I do. It's not something that should be revered as something that's great.

I answer questions the best I can.

I think music follows the trends of the collective conscious.

I'm just very thankful. And I say that a lot because that's the most important message.

I love when things are transparent, free and clear of all inhibition and judgment.

It's the stuff that's - that no one's ever heard before is really interesting. Show less «

Alber Elbaz is just a genius. He'll be in a dinner jacket and he doesn't care what time of day it is: I love that about him. He just marches to the beat of his own drum. Show less «

David Bowie was a true innovator, a true creative. May he rest in peace.
