"One thing people probably don’t know is there’s this emotional flux that you go on. You might put something down and be like, “This is the best thing ever. The best thing anyone’s ever done in music. John Lennon would be jealous of this,” and then the next moment you can hear something back and think, “I’m the worst musician ever born. Ever born. Where are the classifieds? I need to look for a job. Right now." - Shad
