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.

It feels really great to be popular.

I grew up in a time where anything was possible.

I've always been serious about music. After you've done it for so many years, you get back to the basics.

I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve; I write about them.

I was a nerd academically. But I was also an athlete and a musician. I never wanted to be shut out of any situation. I think it was that more than anything.

I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.
