I used to write random little stupid things when I was five, but then the first song I really wrote was one called 'Fingers Crossed,' which is on SoundCloud.

When I was four, I wrote a song about falling into a black hole.

Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.

Man, I was tame compared to what they do now. Are you kidding? I didn't do anything but just jiggle.

George Martin, he's very good at a very sort of lush, sweet arrangement.

A song is like a dream, and you have to make it come true. They're like strange countries that you have to enter. You can write a song anywhere, in a railroad compartment, on a boat, on horseback -- it helps to be moving. Sometimes people who have the greatest talent for writing songs never write any because they are not moving.
