We're always trying to outdo ourselves, trying to do better, trying to write better songs. I think we want to inspire other people as well, so that's what we'll try to do through future songs.

Blurryface is a fictional character and a reference to insecurities, which I think all people have.

It's hard to be in the limelight and write songs that cater to fans that have expectations of you. We just want to write songs that we love, but all the different people with different ideas coming in make it difficult. We have to ask ourselves if we're writing for the most important people: the fans.

When I write songs, when I sing songs, I don't have anybody in mind. I'm just trying to express what I think people are feeling.

It's not like we grew up hanging around in church every day. We'll always stick to what we feel is right for us to do, and I don't think either of us have had a hard time saying, 'This is who I am, and I'm fine with it.'

That's the philosophy that we have always had. Going and playing in front of people and leaving an impressive from that standpoint.
