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.

I write in a bunch of different ways, but my favourite way is to walk around my neighbourhood at ridiculous hours, like 2am. I feel like the movement helps me clear my thoughts so I can just get all of the words out and type them onto my phone.

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 sit at the piano for a couple of hours and tinker away until I get something. I am a nocturnal spirit, like an owl.

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

I think my first song ever was when my cat died. It was this awful, dreadful black cat who was angry and hated everything. Yet I was so upset when it died.

For me, I need people who will respect my vision and will back it and won't go changing things without letting me know. I would love some people who I feel like I could work with on a personal level as well.
