We don't wish for the easy stuff. We wish for big things. Things that are ambitious, out of reach.

You can't generalise about an entire country, but I like the energy of British men.

Music is my shining light, my favorite thing in the world. T get me to stop doing it for one second would be difficult!

Since I was old enough to understand what a songwriter/producer is, I've had a curiosity about how Max Martin creates what he creates. I wanted to see that happen. I wanted to be there. I wanted to learn from him.

We find ourselves in that situation where we want to believe, we want to think we're the exception, we want to think we can change someone or tame a lion or make a bad guy good or something like that but 9 times out of 10 we end up looking back going, "Oh, shame on me, should've seen that one coming!"

I want to build a life with someone that's based on their dreams as well as my dreams. I think that the idea of finding another person to share with is the most fascinating, beautiful quest you could ever be on in life.

A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums.
