There's so much you can do with laying words on a bed of music. You can completely change their meaning with the type of music or the way they're sung.

I think that most art is asking a question or is looking for something, looking for answers and that is what life seems to be about for most people.

There's a level of discipline I use as a writer, designed to get better at what I'm doing, that requires quite a lot of study and quite a lot of hard work as well.

I did photography, painting, and drawing, but I prefer sculpture. I like it because it's very physical.

Like I have to pretend like I'm a male rapper, that I got stacks and we're in the club, and what do I want to say. And then, when writing Rare I could just be PJ.

I didn't even know the industry of songwriting existed. I thought everybody sang songs and they were only singing the songs that they wrote. So after I found out about songwriting in college, I was like, "Okay, I want to do that."

I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.
