I was standing in the schoolyard waiting for a child when another mother came up to me. Have you found work yet? she asked. Or are you still just writing?
I want to write a film. I need to think of the right idea and focus on that; I love writing.
When I'm writing a novel, I'm usually just trying to write about things that are interesting to me.
Being the son of a father who works so hard, I always wanted to be able take a lot of load off of my dad so he can just relax.
I just let the songs tell me what to do - they are my guides, and they are the boss. So I am subservient to the songs, and I let them tell me what to do. I don't judge them; I just write whatever comes to me.

I just sort of follow my bliss, so to speak, and then I see where that takes me.
Once I'm in a situation where I can not do anything for three years and go off the map, I'll focus more on writing. Right now, I want to just make Flume awesome... and big.
