You have a career, and you start as a business person. And you work your way, you reach this peak, and you know the time's going to come when you go back down.

I can reach the mass audience if I come from different perspectives on every song.

Junk food drags you down.

Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.'

Long intros are cool because there's a little bit of anticipation, you know?

It's a career that's enticing because you go on stage, for example, and people clap. You get that affirmation, but you can't go into acting for that because it's really your own self-belief that's going to get you through.
