I want to be the kind of artist who keeps pushing on every album. I don't want to settle on a sound.

I like challenging people. I love pop music that can just throw you off.

I do like the idea of pulling in different producers to get new perspectives. That's what I did with Vows and I feel it just gives variety and makes for a more exciting journey for the listener.

It's a really cool time for artists who want to strive for a little more depth in what they want to say to come forward. We live in a very fast world right now. We've got all this media and music which is so accessible to us, it's here one minute gone the next.

The fun of being in the pop world is you can really play with people's perceptions of what the word pop means.

America is definitely something I'm pretty excited about.

I think 'SNL' is so well-known for its musical performances, as well, and people really breaking into America through a really great performance on there. So I think me and Gotye are both really excited to be amongst such company. You know, it's great.
