I truly believe that if you think something's stupid, that might mean it's actually good.

It's always about trying to make everything go with the music, like a script. It's not like, 'Let's have a confetti gun!' If I ever have one of those, it will be because it's absolutely the right thing at the moment in the song. I can't just go get a confetti gun.

People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.

The guys in high school were like, "You've got a nice voice; you should keep singing," but I never honestly thought that one day I'd be a singer. When you're young, you don't see the signs.

There's something to be said for being classically trained on piano, but not having your whole makeup be tied to one instrument.

When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.

In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.
