"When young artists ask, "How can I get past [creative blocks]? I respond: "For one thing, try doing your worst work. Do the worst song you can possibly think of. At the very least, you'll get some idea of what your rules are. At the most, you're going to get something that's better than anything you've every done because it has a lot of pure energy." Just make it bad. Just make it really bad. You know, so pure and bad."
