Especially With Music, People Want Confidence.

I Approach Music - And This Sounds Crazy - As Though I'm Phil Spector, And I'm Cranking Out These Pop Stars And Forcing Them To Do All This Stuff - Except They're All Me. But I'm Not, Like, Transgendered.

When I'm Making Something I Need It To Be Catchy - I Need It To Hit The Sweet Spot.

It's Really Hard To Be On Stage And Packing Your Gear When People Who Just Saw You Play Are In The Room, Because They All Just Want To Talk To You.

I Think You Can Hear, When You Listen To Someone's Music, Whether Or Not They're Enjoying Making It - It's So Great To Hear Music Where You Can Tell The Person Making It Was Just Having A Blast. That's Really Important To Me As Far As My Process Goes. That's Probably Why My Music Ends Up Being So Poppy!

I Find It Really Hard To Throw Myself Into Something Artistically Where I'm Making Up A Whole Character And Finding Something For That Character To Do.
