I like to remind myself that everything is meaningless.

It sounds kind of stupid, but I've never not wanted to be a musician. It's been inside me since I was little so I don't know what else I would do.

I guess something people wouldn't expect me to listen to are artists like Alicia Keys. But she is so incredibly talented. She has this huge voice and great work ethic, which I really respect in an artist. She is also very humble and gracious and devoted to her skill.

The only reason I would write a break-up song is because my own problem of allowing myself to relate to people.

Everything I do is a reflection of the duality within me. Musically, I really love things that are very synthetic and unnatural. And I also like the organic and human... the intrinsic, I guess.

You are born and then you die, but in between you can do anything you want. It's society that creates rules for us, but you can break out of that.

I don't find much influence in opera. It was such a different part of me.
