I went to Legoland in Denmark when I was five, I think, but I went to Germany when I was 17 to have a little adventure after graduation.

In the past, I used to rely on the randomness of working with samples, which was a good way because it threw you in a completely different direction. You just thought, 'What if I take this samba drum and combined it with an '80s synth line or something from this record?'

Of the times that I've been able to overcome a fear, it's been by making it something that I can understand, that I can hold on to - just something that's more tangible.

There's so much nostalgia for music from the past.

As an entrepreneur and public company CEO, I've dealt with dozens of rollouts, and when unveiling a new product, the operating approach should be, 'Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.'

I still take acting, singing, and dance classes. I think no matter where you go in your career, you can always learn more and better yourself.

If you work in Chicago in the improv scene, anyone is happy for you if you get a job.

Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.
