Once a song's out there, it's no longer mine. And that's the whole purpose of music: to belong to people.

When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

I have no technical training and am completely uneducated in music.

When I go into the studio, I completely detach. I let my emotions come out.

People are so used to having their lives filmed, they're not even conscious of having cameras around. I still have that sort of suspicion when a camera comes out. I view it as a thing to fear.

I just aspire to pick people up. That's my ambition.
