I'm not bashing people who write songs that are just 'get on the dance floor and party party', I understand why people need those songs too, but I don't really write lyrics like that.

I think especially since going solo it's pretty clear that I'm completely being myself.

I wasn't really writing anything that I felt was worth it at the end, but then certain things sparked me as a solo writer - to be able to try new things and experiment, and ultimately challenge myself as a performer and as a songwriter and just to commit to ideas, and not be afraid to be myself.

Johnny Depp and I think Woody Allen would be fun to hang out with.

I like films that go a little more daring visually, and story-based stuff that usually reflects pretty closely to what real life is.

I'm not avoiding specifics, but I've always written songs from more of a global standpoint.
