It's not possible to experience constant euphoria, but if you're grateful, you can find happiness in everything.
— Pharrell Williams
'Entrepreneur 'just denotes that you recognize that you're doing things across disciplines and that you're blazing your own path.
You can't get anything done hanging out all day long.
I'm a producer. I'm a musician. And my job is to come in and, you know, put - you know, I treat all of the artists that I work with, like, you know, the way da Vinci was looking at Mona Lisa, you know, there's an interesting backdrop.
I'm a fan of music, first and foremost. So I do things from the perspective of a fan.
You don't know what people are looking for. What you know is what you feel like might be missing. It's up to the people to agree with you or disagree with you, and you'll know in their reaction.
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.
The simplest way to say it is that I think we're all dealt these cards in life, but the cards in and of themselves don't read one way or the other. It's up to you to home in and cultivate whatever you've got in your hand.
When it comes to luggage, I am an underpacker.
I love the way Charlize Theron and Kate Moss dress.
I don't know about style mistakes.
My style hero was' Batman.' Now it's Tony Stark.
I love everything that Frank Gehry does. I wish I could have that man build me a Wayne Manor-style mansion, like his idea of it.
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.
I love when things are transparent, free and clear of all inhibition and judgement.
Music is all of a sudden much more colorful.
I don't know, the artist thing is not me. I love making music, though.
For me, nothing is given.
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.
Lyrically, I could be so much sharper. Melodically, I could be so much stickier. Musically, I could have so much more texture. So I'm constantly doing that, trying to find new ways to mix things up.
The more I can make a person comfortable in their environment by taking my ego's hat off and leaving it at the door, then they can dive deep within themselves and we can pull out something interesting that people have never heard before. It's the stuff that's - that no one's ever heard before is really interesting.
Iconic artists are never straight ahead. Michael Jackson loved Elvis and Burt Bacharach, and uniquely blended both of them into what he did.
The people have allowed me to - they've respected my choice of wanting to be like, a little, you know, a baby alchemist, and just trying to mix different cultures together and things that I think are interesting.
I like to browse and just hang in bookstores.
My ideal travel companions are my family.
When I'm in the mood for room service, my favorite order is a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich.
I wanted clothing that I couldn't find, so I decided to make it.
I like the world.
I answer questions the best I can.
I like anything sweet.
You sort of have to become what you're wearing.
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.
Right now, musically I'm inspired by everyday people.
I love playing. The keyboard is my journal.
I'm like most people. We just concentrate on the present. I live right where the film is going through the film projector and it hits the light.
I learn a lot from my experiences and collaborations. Most of my collaborations are meant for me to learn.
I'm always consciously trying to make what I feel is missing.
Some people say there's nothing new under the sun. I still think that there's room to create, you know. And intuition doesn't necessarily come from under this sun. It comes from within.
I love when things are transparent, free and clear of all inhibition and judgment.
Everything that we experience every day leaves a long-lasting impression.
Most of the time, I see what I see, I search my feelings, and then I make my decisions based on my gut - and I don't always make the right ones.
My favorite Dominican dish to indulge in is anything with crab.
I have an all-Japanese design team, and none of them speak English. So it's often funny and surprising how my ideas end up lost in translation.
I just like being a kid. I enjoy it, I don't want to grow up.
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.
I'm just very thankful. And I say that a lot because that's the most important message.
I only entertain very close friends.
I can't say what I'm going to wear all the time. The minute that I say that, then there's something in me that tips off and then I need to break out of that.
The element of harmony is super important.
I think music follows the trends of the collective conscious.
