I love making music. I feel like people often get into that 'you should only make music for yourself' kind of place, where they say things like, "I don't write for other people, I write for myself," and I feel like that misses the mark so much because music, especially pop music, is so much more than yourself.

I would love to be friends with Kanye West, because I know he is not a dreadful person, he is a lovely person and I think he is misunderstood.

I love to act, so the only way I could act was through community theatre and they would just do musicals. My musical upbringing was show-tunes and it sucks and I have been trying to get away from it ever since.

I feel like it is only music where people are like, "You can't do this for other people, you have to do it for yourself." Which I hate.

There is a balance in between where you can still make art, but it does not have to be insular.

When I come up with something that I feel like people will connect with that makes me happy because I know that it would be something that would just go beyond me.

I feel like if you compare yourself to other successful musicians you will never be successful, because there will always be someone above you who has done something more or done something first or done something better.
