As cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I do write a lot, not necessarily for a message to be taken away. I feel like it is a little bit egotistical to be like, "I hope they are a better person after listening to my song."

I feel like success is really subjective. You could win a school talent show and be like "I was successful", or you could get a Number One in New Zealand and be like "I was successful', or you could win a Grammy and be like "I was successful".

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

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 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.

It is one of those things that is universally connectable, people can connect to it from everywhere; music is like that universal language.

I feel like writing music is a great chance to create something that extends beyond yourself.
