Moving to London was a culture shock, but in a really good way. I'm more aware now, and I'm less trusting of people in the music industry.

I live in a neighborhood that's very family-oriented, so I feel like everyone else is sleeping and I'm sitting up, making music. It's just me. It's a nice time to be creative.

I don't think I'm delusional, but I'm definitely a dreamer; I definitely want to see the best in things and I believe in what I do.

Traveling really inspires me, seeing other cities and going on tour. If you've got fans online, it's hard to remember those people are real people.

How could such sweet and wholesome hours be reckoned, but in herbs and flowers?

After creating the heaven, the earth, the ocean, and the entire animal kingdom, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing He said to them was "Don't."

Reusing pieces of code is like picking off sentences from other people's stories and trying to make a magazine article.
