But for me I think it's just about taking that time of reflection and contemplation. That's probably my process in every decision that I make: to make sure that I spend time just with myself, and really times of silence and mediation to go through that process; and music is a big part of that as well.

I haven't stopped writing which is good. I'm scared to stop completely otherwise it might lead to stagnancy.

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

I feel far more connected to the whole band if I can somehow physically respond... with my body.

I guess there might come a point when I will want to live an anonymous life. I'm only at the start of my career, so I'm sure that moment will come, but I know how blessed I am to have this platform on which to speak and influence.

There's a vulnerability in music but you've also got to protect your sacred place and have a place you can still retire to that no one else knows about. So that's a thing I just try to balance.

When you work on an album for three and a half years, you're kind of ready for it to get out there. To have your songs reach people.
