There's backlash about everything I do.
A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York.
When I put out 'Video Games' in May 2011, it was a 5:25-minute love song; I was surprised when a lot of people said they were listening to it. I was surprised when it went to the radio, without me even knowing how something like that even happens!
Feeling like you're respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.
If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist.
