I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they're happy if they do get it.

Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.

Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.

I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.
