I'd like to think you don't stop being creative once you get happy. My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.
Music can take you back in time to that place when you first fell in love and really haunt you.
Life is like walking you take one step at a time.
Maybe you won't find a place where you fit in for a very long time, but you eventually will.
So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time. As far as I'm concerned you're just another picture to burn.
I definitely have body issues, but everybody does. When you come to the realization that everybody does that - even the people that I consider flawless - then you can start to live with the way you are. I've read interviews with some of the most beautiful women who have insecurities. And you look at them and you're like, 'How do you have? Name one thing wrong with yourself,' and they could name a handful.
I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now.
Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism. So I distance myself, because I feel everything.
I didn't always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night.
I look out at the stadiums full of people and see them all knowing the words to songs I wrote. And curling their hair! I remember straightening my hair because I wanted to be like everybody else, and now the fact that anybody would emulate what I do? It's just funny. And wonderful.
Since I was old enough to understand what a songwriter/producer is, I've had a curiosity about how Max Martin creates what he creates. I wanted to see that happen. I wanted to be there. I wanted to learn from him.
Music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment.
I think who you are in school really sticks with you. I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, 'Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.'
I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid.
