I have surrounded myself with very smart people.

I might not be very smart, but I surround myself with smart people.

I say, 'Yeah, Taylor Swift.' I think she is a smart, beautiful girl. I think she's making all the right moves. She's got a good head on her shoulders. She's surrounded with wonderful people. Her songs are great. She keeps herself anchored. She knows who she is, and she's living and standing by that.

Usually the wacky people have the breakthroughs. The 'smart' people don't.

I liked working with smart people.

I wasn't the smartest kid in town but I've always thought if you hang around with smart people some of it's bound to rub off.
