When something comes to my brain, I don't ignore it. You never know what it's going to turn into.

Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that's fine; it's OK. I don't want to be the McDonald's of music. I don't want to not turn anyone off. If you were everybody's cup of tea, you'd probably be boring.

Fame freaks me out. Do you just wake up different? I don't know how to scale it back if it gets too crazy.

I wouldn't ever do a radio edit because I feel like it would totally go against the point of 'Follow Your Arrow.' I just think you're going to like it or not like it.

I realize that I'm not going to be everybody's cup of tea, and that's okay. I think that's the point of music.

A label's typical plan would be to put something out that's safer and get fans, and then push buttons, but my idea is to push buttons first, scare off the people who are gonna be scared off, and then the right people will like you for who you really are, and stay with you.
