Music is a big influence in my work and sometimes drives the energy of where I want to go.

Elvis was a big influence to my music, but Loretta Lynn was, as well.

Nat King Cole was a really big influence.

We're focusing on particular works — films, books, pieces of music, architecture — that deserve the name 'icon' and have this influence on our culture. Everybody knows those things, but almost because they're icons, people don't look below the fact of them.

Sergio Leone was a big influence on me because of the spaghetti westerns.

My grandfather has a big influence on me; without him, I wouldn't be where I am now.
