Some quotes from the Q&A - 

On his new album 'Love In The Future' - "I wrote over 100 songs for this new album. I have the highest price to pay if people don't like it so it's my job to make something beautiful and great that I feel really good about."

On long-time collaborator Kanye West - "He's such a creative genius. I think he's one of the important creative people of our generation."

On the 'cool' UK music scene - "i feel there's a little more variety [than the US] It gives artists the freedom to be more experimental. That's why I like writing with artists here. I feel more free to do whatever I want."

On commercial success - "I don't have to be number one on every chart. But if I'm proud of what i'm doing and my music finds an audience that really loves it then I'm really happy."
