Generally, I like making my own mistakes and learning from them because that's what I think life is about.

I think music needs danger; it needs risk.

All I do is sit at home and play guitar. That's seriously what I do.

I don't eat any red meat.

It takes isolation and solitude for me to write.

People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna's wearing f-ckin' leather jackets, and it's really annoying . . . (My style is) high-class hooker. I dress for myself. Clearly, it's provocative, but it makes me feel good. And if the only reason it makes someone uncomfortable is because I'm 17, then that person's a scumbag because it shouldn't matter.

I can work 24 hours a day and not have it bother me.
