I think music needs danger; it needs risk.

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.

You write a lot of bad songs before you write good ones. It takes time!

I'm not interested in playing the field and all that stuff because frankly I'm not into frivolous relationships.

You can't be a band and not play, and playing is so invigorating. It breathes life into you. So does creating something out of nothing.

There's a lot of things in my past that wouldn't have necessarily been my choices but at the same time, going back in time and changing something, I wouldn't want to do that because I like where I came out.

I have such trust comples. I'm close to like two people.
