Quote

I'd gotten to a point where I would write a lyric and then delete it because I was worried about how it sounded. Pretty much, I was a dreadful person and It was just a way of dealing with feeling kind of guilty about that.

I feel like so many people get into that place where creating for someone else is selling out and it is so not about that. It is a stupid, kind of pretentious way of thinking.

In terms of melody, I am really into great 90's melodies. I feel like there was a great focus on melody in the 90's, like 90's pop-hooks and 90's R&B hooks I just love them.

I love making music. I feel like people often get into that 'you should only make music for yourself' kind of place, where they say things like, I don't write for other people, I write for myself, and I feel like that misses the mark so much because music, especially pop music, is so much more than yourself.

As cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I do write a lot, not necessarily for a message to be taken away. I feel like it is a little bit egotistical to be like, I hope they are a better person after listening to my song.

I think my first song ever was when my cat died. It was this awful, dreadful black cat who was angry and hated everything. Yet I was so upset when it died.

Sometimes I just get into the zone of the song, but in the outset I feel like I love to cater to people - but not necessarily at the expense of my artistry or anything like that.

It is one of those things that is universally connectable, people can connect to it from everywhere music is like that universal language.

As long as I can sustain myself and as long as people like what I am doing and are happy to support me to continue, that is success in my eyes.

I feel like they would just be the funnest people. I wish I could have been friends with Michael Jackson, just because he had the most badass house of all time and I could just go out and go on amusement park rides and then he could teach me how to moonwalk.

My Dad played the trombone and I think my Mom played the piano for about two years. It is very self-driven. They pushed me to do piano lessons, but they were never forceful about anything. They never pushed me to sing or anything, it was something that I did myself.

Something like film, I guess there are so many elements to it, like the dialogue and what makes sense culturally.

I love to act, so the only way I could act was through community theatre and they would just do musicals. My musical upbringing was show-tunes and it sucks and I have been trying to get away from it ever since.

I feel like it is only music where people are like, You can't do this for other people, you have to do it for yourself. Which I hate.
