• Cuando vivía en New York, no había tanta televisión ni cine. Me pidieron que hiciera un par de películas independientes, simplemente por ser de The Smashing Pumpkins y A Perfect Circle. Hice un par de películas independientes de Japón y una de Canadá, y me pareció algo emocionante y divertido. Me lo pasé muy bien haciéndolo, sólo que en New York no había tanto. Mi estudio en New York cerró, así que me mudé a Los Ángeles y empecé a considerar la composición como otra cosa que hacer, como músico. Me gusta mucho. Es divertido y es una forma diferente de pensar en la música.

• My father played guitar, so I always wanted to play for that reason. But I think the biggest reason was just the '90s in general - growing up listening to the Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day and bands like that, and going to concerts and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world.

• I grew up in the '80s and '90s listening to Public Enemy and Mobb Deep and the Smashing Pumpkins. I don't even know what it was like in the '60s - I wasn't alive then - so the Mayer Hawthorne sound is taking what I can learn from the classics, and blending it with my hip-hop DJ and producer background and punk-rock bands that I played in as a kid.
