Speaking about Taylor, he added: "Something I learned myself, and learned through watching her, is respect. You just respect everyone's time, everyone that you're working with. They're all there, it’s all their lives, and you need to put the work in to be worth that." In an earlier interview with People magazine, he said; "When we were kids, I saw Taylor write songs every day for years when there was no one to play them to. Having seen that example, how much goes in, how long it took…That’s always going to be bedrock for who I am and who I want to be."
