I feel like I've got an open mind as far as sounds, for me, as far as I'm concerned I just wanted to make music that had really good melodies.

I don't like being in big crowds, I don't like being in a room full of people. I get anxious and nervous, but I'm pretty confident about my music. It excites me because I get to sing to all those people.

Whichever kind of music I was making it was all about the melody anyway. The kind of music I'm making now is the way it is because I'm being 100% honest with myself.

It's a funny thing, if I could choose anything to do, it wouldn't be to be in front of a camera because I've spent so much of my time, so much of my life trying to get really good at writing songs and playing instruments.

When you're writing a song with someone, it's a very personal process. The music has to be an organic experience, it can't be contrived, sometimes it is and I think people pick up on that.

The most important thing is that you're comfortable with who you're working with as a person. Forget the music, if you can sit in a room with someone and you don't have awkwardness.
