I idolised bands like Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, who wanted to reach as many people as they could.

I was signed at 19 years old to a major label, and dropped by the time I was 22.

Eventually, out of sheer will of never wanting to get a job or go to college, I found my way into doing music full-time.

Even now, when I try and think of band names just randomly, I'm so thankful that 'fun.' is the name of the band. I never really think twice about it. It is so simple and so easy.

But as long as you're creating the art you want to create, if people start liking you, you shouldn't have to apologize. You want your stuff to be heard by as many people as possible.

I would love to play a show with Kanye West. That would be amazing. I want to play a show with Tom Petty or Bruce Springsteen. It would be really fun, especially to stick around, watch their show and watch how they work a crowd. It's really a wonderful thing.

I knew how touring was for 10 years, but it's completely different now that things are popping off.
