Once you have an established song, you can really come out of your shell and experiment with the sound you want to make.

In order to find yourself, who you really are, you got to be with yourself; you got to hang out with yourself.

There are times pop music is the end result when I'm in the studio, but I don't really go in and say, 'Today I am going to make a pop song,' but it can happen.

I'm trying to bring a little bit of every type of sauce into one type of sound. Something that's really fresh.

It has been wild, you know? I started out just putting a song that I made out on the Internet without being sure if anyone was going to like it, and it took me on tour around the world with Justin Bieber. It's been amazing!

You can't get tired in the studio. It's really tough. But you just gotta keep on going.
