I spent a lot of time staring at the clock in school, so I have that kind of personality.
In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

You learn to respect team chemistry. It’s the fourth quarter, there’s two minutes left, the shot clock is winding down, and we’re like, ‘What do we do?’ We didn’t have that flow. Chemistry comes down to repetition. It’s not, ‘We’ve played some games; we have chemistry now.’
In many ways, a song-writing partnership is like a marriage. Apart from just liking each other, a lyricist and a composer should be able to spend long periods of time together – around the clock if need be – without getting on each other’s nerves.

When a car’s ahead of you, as long as you can see it, you get a tow, just like the draft in NASCAR. Even if it’s a long ways down the track, it punches a hole in the air that has to help. When you’re running alone, you can feel the difference, and it shows on the clock, too.
My mother died of metastatic colorectal cancer shortly before three P.M. on Christmas Day of 2008. I don’t know the exact time of her death, because none of us thought to look at a clock for a while after she stopped breathing.

I don’t respond well to time pressure – when you’re in the studio, with the clock ticking, and the record company’s waiting for you to lay a golden egg. Wherever it is my music comes from, it just doesn’t show up when the pressure is on.
You realize as an athlete that there is a bit of a clock, and you don’t want to look back on a career and say, ‘I wish I had done this a bit differently.’
I think anything that requires real global breakthroughs requires a degree of intensity and sustained effort that cannot be done part time, so it’s something you have to do around the clock, and that doesn’t compute with our existing educational system.
