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

I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.

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.

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

I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.

But I love the hot sweat. I think overheating onstage is invigorating. It's better than being comfortable. I think being comfortable is the death of a show.

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