The idea's the idea: It's about what you do, and not who you are.

I think 'fan' implies somebody who's submissive, sycophantic, in awe of everything you're doing.

We live in a very strange world where everything is so accessible; if you like one song someone did, you can see what they ate for breakfast or what kind of sunglasses they wore.

I have amazing collaborators as well, but I want to learn more and be a self-contained unit.

I once said to a boy, ‘You’re a really good kisser,’ and he said, ‘You’re only as good as the person you’re kissing.' I think it’s the same with the music. If someone [says], ‘Your music is really provocative,’ I’m only as provocative as the person that’s listening to it.

I do have traditional values: I believe in being a good person and being polite.

I just try to keep my dignity and carry on with my day.
