Everyone's just a freak, but some people are trying to hide it and some people embrace it.

The music I'm making is like an explosion of love. It moves away from super dark, its more romanticized and floral, but still quite black.

Live in the moment. Feel everything you want to feel. And maybe have a couple of drinks if you're nervous, I guess.

I just want people to feel the emotion that's in the record. For me it's very raw and beautiful, I guess it's kind of like a diary for me. I'd love for people to be able to listen to it and it make them dance and cry and the same time.

The great thing about 2017 is that, because of the terrible political state that we're in and that America is in, young people are so vocal at the moment about so many issues, from racism to LGBT rights to beyond. I feel like - especially when I look at my fan-base - people are so vocal about their opinions and so vocal about spreading love. That's really important, and I think it's really amazing that people are talking about that. I just want that to keep happening.

I hadn't really thought about the kind of music I wanted to make. I was just making raps and stuff. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world.

To be honest I'd just love to keep writing hits for other people... That's kind of my secret dream.
