It's just exciting to be part of something that is brand-new.

I am a writer - that is what I am before being a performer or musician. I love waking up in the morning and then going to sleep that night with something that did not exist.

Being a musician, you want to be able to do the hardest stuff there is. People would think it's classical, but in classical, it's all on the page and the difficulty is keeping up with the music.

For me able to do the records I want to do and not have to worry about this producer or that producer or that trend, I'm not really interested in that.

It feels really great to be popular.

I just want to be as creative as I possibly can.

I grew up in a time where anything was possible.
