Ryan Tedder's Quotes

• One of the challenges for me each time is how do I write something that I love, that I believe in, that's different and interesting, that pushes me, but is not too complicated.
• I think it's our responsibility as a band, and what separates us from everyone else...I felt a responsibility to actually write and sing about things that have a level of human gravity to them. If everybody else sings about sex and love and lust and money, then somebody's gotta be singing about life and faith and hope and things of that nature. And in the pantheon of their esteemed career, they've had two #1 hits, and I think both were 25 years ago. It's not about that - it's about what songs feel real. I'd rather have a song that peaks at #15 that's meaningful and embedded in the cultural framework we live in than a #1 song that explodes for five seconds, becomes the dance hit of the summer, then goes away.
• There are songs that fly up the charts because of the zeitgeist, but if you're too attached to the current sound, that song will be time-stamped...So we try to make stuff that doesn't sound dated.
• I'm actually introverted and shy.
• [Interviewer: Who is the worst driver out of all of you (OneRepublic)?] Brent. I would say without question, Brent. I would not want to go on a road trip with him driving.
