Loy Mendonsa: I'm often asked how we function within a trio. I tell them you must try sitting on a two-legged chair. - Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy

Shankar Mahadevan: Classical music is a great advantage you have. Be it during composing or arranging, classical music is like grammar.

Shankar Mahadevan: There is a very thick line between being repetitive and having your own sound. You can always re-invent yourself - think about the sounds you are using. I don't see any reason why you have to be repetitive if you have enough knowledge, enough exposure.

Loy Mendonsa: Ehsaan gets very upset if it sounds remotely like anything else. Then he'll get sleepless nights. Then next morning we'll see him with dark circles
