I've just been learning how to direct my own videos, choreography, doing costumes... every creative opportunity there is with my music I've taken.

Sometimes when you're an artist, you need to be in your own head; you need to stay in it to be able to get to a good place.

I feel like my music has so many different things going on. I've always worked with many different producers. And a lot of times, each of them has a different thing that I really love about what they do.

There's so many different kinds of songs that could be pop songs. I don't think pop songs should sound the same.

There's things that you just couldn't do with an optical printer. Now, with digital compositing, most of the energy that goes into a shot goes into the aesthetic issues of, 'Is it a good shot or not?'

I begin to cut myself off in a digital shutdown at about 10 P.M. Phone, laptop, and iPad go down. If I'm at home, I'll leave my laptop and iPad in the living room. Those things don't go into my bedroom at all.

The digital revolution has also meant a revolution in access to information. This puts more power and knowledge into the hands of nonexperts.

The Internet represented a really important tool that would be used by every business out there to some extent. But for the vast majority of companies to say, 'We're an Internet company,' is a little bit like saying, 'We're a fax company because we have a fax machine.'
