Do you have to have emotional turmoil to create music? I'm not sure because I've never been without it

I think I've been a bit misunderstood; the first record was more timid than I wanted it to be. I don't like getting pinned down by sex or how I sound like because it's not who I am or what I want to be.

Los Angeles is such a mysterious place because there's so much evil in that city, but there's also so much light. You can be totally alone on a hillside and I love that kind of secluded, deserted rawness.

I was going on this desert adventure with some friends and we were like, "How amazing would it be to just drag all these mirrors out there?" A lot of times I do things as an impulse and find out my inspirations afterward. Even with songs and lyrics, it can take me years to find out what I was actually trying to do.

Of course, there are a lot of things I'm angry about in the world.

It would be amazing if people listened to it when they needed shelter; it would be lovely if they didn't spit on it.

I dove into the craziness and did things that maybe I would think twice about when I get older.
