I don't view any of the hits I've ever written as the climax of my career. They're just minor stepping stones.

The first 12 bars of 'Pre-Occupied' explains my entire career.

As long as I don't have to go back to the catering hall and wait tables anymore, I'm very happy.

I'd watch Pixar movies for, like, six hours, back-to-back. I'd watch 'Finding Nemo' twice a week, back-to-back-to-back, three times in a row.

I was sick of waiting for people to jump on hooks for songs I produced. So I tried singing myself, and I haven't looked back.

I'm not afraid to have my music digestible by different ages.

I wrote 'Monster' and thought that it would solve a lot of my problems, that I'd have money in the bank, but I felt no different. I was still searching for something.

Sometimes, people will fight over five, six percent, because if it's a smash record, that can mean a lot of money. I don't really care.

People can relate more to being honest about your problems, your insecurities, and the things that you find wrong with yourself. Because that's how we really are.

If I can show people how vulnerable and how flawed I am, maybe others will relate.

As far as the U.K. goes, The 1975 is one of my favourite groups in a very long time. I love the sonics. I love everything they do.

At the end of the day, we want love, and we want to feel loved.
