I just want to make music that matters, that people will remember for a long time.

It's important to push yourself to get better at your craft - whatever that is. It's important to grow and evolve with each project.

If you get comfortable, that's how you fall off.

I think it's important to evolve and grow and take risks creatively, instead of repeating yourself and doing the same thing over and over.

I grew up on the bus, or riding my bike, or catching the subway, I've never had a car. In college, any girl I ever dated had a car, too.

What inspires me is the desire to be on. The desire to be successful. The desire to reach people through my music and make a living off it and never have to do anything else. Being able to do music full time and travel the world and share this music with everybody. That's the dream.

I'm on this raised-platform-stage and I'm put on display, but at the same time I'm just a human. I'm just a regular person at the end of the day and, you know, I just want them to know that I do appreciate every single one of them.
