I don't know if there's anything that would surprise people, because I don't think that anybody knows anything about me at all. There's not much out there. I think I'm going to come out with a pretty dark and troubled record, and it might upset some people.

I guess I do feel the need to repent. I do feel like I owe the world a great album. I don't know why I feel that way. I just do.

Obviously there's so much about me on the Internet that you can turn against me, and you can make me into any person you want.

All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.

The music starts as being way separate from the lyrics, and I write - I have notebooks that I fill with drawings and just words, and stuff that I've written.

I am super-interested in fashion. I love being a person whose clothes get discussed. That makes it more interesting for me.

A record is worth 10,000 live shows.
