I do try to pick music that is from different worlds and typically doesn't flow together. When you do that, you get songs with conflicting messages, but for me, it's on a musical level first and foremost.

It's hard enough to get things to work in a musical way.

I listen to music constantly, and I'm always hearing things I love that I'm excited to use.

I'm interested in branching out and seeing where my music goes.

When I was 18, I was playing to 18 to 21-year-olds, and then, when I was 25, still playing to 18 to 25-year-olds. As I've gone on, the crowd has gone in both directions, both younger and a little older now than it's ever been. It is an interesting thing to hit 30.

I guess people naturally try to find meaning in music.
