I studied voice and piano as a child, although, at least with voice, you start over at puberty, because your voice completely changes.

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

As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.

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

Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.

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

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.
