I feel very short-attention span for like accomplishment. It's like 'oh that felt really good' and then it's kind of like an immediate emptiness of I need to make something else - I don't like to dwell on things too long.

I kind of lose my mind a little bit if I'm not making something.

When you listen to music, you can tell if it's a real love song or not.

I grew up a huge Roy Orbison fan. He had such a crazy range. And I grew up listening to old jazz, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone. I remember trying to imitate female jazz singers because I had a higher range.

That's the worst and best thing about being in the studio, feeling completely lost and not knowing how to put the final touch on something. But once you find it, there's nothing like that feeling.

I have a short attention span.

My folks would have parties and all I wanted was to be the entertainment.

My parents bought this baby grand piano, which was in my living room, that I owe a lot to. I would just play it and write on it for hours. It was my favorite toy.

No one pursued music professionally in my family but they are all music lovers.

I love learning how people hear my music because everyone has different references.

As far as playing instruments, it just feels good to have it under your hands. Cause sometimes those instruments have minor imperfections. Sometimes because they're so old, they're always out of tune a little bit.

I'm influenced by a lot of different genres of music. So I'm constantly trying to rework production and make things interesting in the live show and on records.

I try to challenge myself.

In 2016, I was pretty green. I was budding. Some flowers were shooting off.

I grew up in Michigan. I feel like a lot of my childhood was in solitude, in the woods or making tree forts.

I have these lacy shirts that look kind of like my grandma's curtains that I wear.

Nothing grounds you like a real authentic Mexican taco.

That's one thing I really wanted to work on after 'Dopamine,' my falsetto.

I have the luxury of having the choice to perform and go up on stage every night.

Circuses don't treat their 'performers' very well - whipping them, trying to make them terrified.

To make a genuine record, it takes more than a cool beat and some auto tune.

I feel like music is always alive and well.

No, I don't think songwriting is emotionally challenging - I feel like it's almost a way to sort through your emotions and put them out there.

Allowing yourself to suck is the hard part of writing music. If you allow yourself to suck, you will probably write something better.
