When I make albums, I do a lot of songwriting but not necessarily a whole album. I like to listen to other songs to get a different point of view and to learn. I'm young. I have a lot to learn.

When I make albums, I do a lot of songwriting but not necessarily a whole album,

I treat every album as a new beginning, so I'm asking myself, 'What is pop music now? What are people consuming?' and I take these things into effect.

I genuinely don't know how many albums I'm going to sell when the new album comes out, because I honestly don't know how many fans I've actually got at the moment.

I don't like rock. Honestly, I like to listen to it, but it's not for me. There's a lot of musical genres that I find interesting, but they don't suit me. It's one thing to listen to different genres, but to perform a genre that isn't yours is counterproductive.

I like double albums, ... And this was kind of a double album. And with double albums, sometimes you say, 'Well this is a whole lot to process.' But then you listen to it again and you start to develop favorites and it gets a character all its own. And then you think maybe you see this movie later on TV and you start to think, 'Well, you know what? I get it. That all these themes are supposed to be part of a bigger simpler theme.'
