No [laughs]. I have a ton of things I miss, for sure. I miss being with Lotus and working a bit. But it's all good. It hasn't gone anywhere. Over the course of the last year, because of all of the things that actually have changed in my life, I've gotten better at just sitting still. I always talk about this saying that me and Mac Miller used to have: "Sit down and let things happen." And we would laugh about it, but it's something to learn: to be able to just sit down and do nothing. I think everybody is learning this right now.
I mean, it's hard to see clearly through the pain of losing him. I think Mac's spirit always was very influential, ever since I met him, in my attitude about recording; just the way I would go about recording sometimes, I knew it's something I had learned working with Mac. But it's kind of hard to see clearly with that. I mean, even on the album, I'm kind of saying goodbye to him a bit.

Yeah, I totally remember that moment. For lack of a better explanation, Mac was always in some kind of way about what he was doing. He really wanted it to be magical every time he would do something. This moment was really funny because I was on tour in Europe, and I was going between different countries, going in and out of cell phone service, and Mac was really like "I really want you to be there." I'm like "It's going to be fine, man. There's no reason to have me there. Just do your thing." But he's like "No, I really want you to be there. I really want you to be there." And I was like "It's very difficult, Mac, I'm in the middle of a tour. I can't just cancel a couple of shows and come out there and do it." And lo and behold, I cancelled a couple of shows to come out there and do it. I could see that he wanted it to be something. He wanted to feel comfortable in front of everybody. He wanted to introduce people to how it works for him. I think he wanted me to be there beside him.
And he didn't think I was going to show up. Flaking is a major part of being a musician. I'm not a flake, but we just, as musicians, that accumulates as a reputation. And so Mac probably didn't believe that I was going to show up, because I'm coming from some part of Eastern Europe or something. And I showed up! And when he turned around and I was like "Thank you," and he was kind of laughing, it was one of those moments like "No way, you're really here!" He's like "Did you really just come out here?" And I was like "Yeah, man." We talked about it and it was like, I would do it for him. I would do that for Mac. 2ff7e9595c
