DNCE is “dance without the a.” It’s not a perfect word, and you don’t always have to be a perfect dancer to dance. Life is just sometimes not perfect.

I'm a big fan of certain new acts. I love any genre of music, and I think it's really great to see that there are new artists coming through. It's kinda funny to think that I'm like the old man on campus now. But I'm really happy for groups like One Direction. I think they're really good guys.

I've gone through a lot of stuff in my life so far. There are stories I haven't really been able to tell.

I think people have been really receptive to understanding that I've grown up and the music's going to sound a little different.

I was going to make movies. I was the one in the family who was always rolling the video camera, making movies of my brothers around town, and then screening them for my parents. I still would love to make movies someday that's something that really means a lot to me, and I know I'll have the chance to do it one day.

Heels are really hard to wear. I feel bad for every girl that has to wear heels or chooses to wear heels. They're not fun.

I'm a big fan of TIËSTO, and SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA are awesome. I absolutely want to work with them.
